Warning

Disconnect battery – event tho those things are supposed to be dead who knows how yours are hooked up and they just might cycle on you with your hand, fingers, nose, or toes in the mechanism.  Those things work with NO conscience as to whose their owner.

As for your immediate question – dunno, but if no one else answers – I’ll look it up or at least hazard a guess.

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

 

OK, I’m stumped.  I’ve got a nice relay kit for my308’s headlamps.  Seems to work fine.

 

I also bought new Hella headlamps, but for the life of me can’t 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.  I’m going to try loosening those to see if that releases the lamp.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
