Ferrari Mailing List: Re: HELP! How to replace 308 headlamps

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

I recall starting the car, turning the headlights 'on', then shutting-off the car to keep the headlights in the 'up' position.  You could use the manual knob under the fender grills, but starting the car was easier.

 

The four screws in the front edges of the headlamp adjusted windage and elevation of the headlight - you will need to align the new beam when you're done.  Once the light is 'up', change-out is much easier.

Subject: [Ferrari] HELP! How to replace 308 headlamps

OK, Iâm stumped.  Iâve got a nice relay kit for my308âs headlamps.  Seems to work fine.

 

I also bought new Hella headlamps, but for the life of me canât figure out how to replace them.  It looks there is a heavy bracket holding the headlamp that is attached to the whole assembly by four screws that are blocked by the fender, which makes me think I have to remove the two pivot bolts for the headlamp assembly.  Looks like I have to remove the fender to get to those bolts loose.

 

There are also three bolts on the back of the headlamp assembly.  Iâm going to try loosening those to see if that releases the lamp.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
