Ferrari should replace it. Check with them first before you modify it. They may not replace it then.

Ok then the obvious question... How do you get the light out to reverse the drain hose ?

I'll take a look into that, Dave. Thanks.

The rock chip part I already know about. That's why I have Stonegard Light on them (saved the lenses a bunch of times).

Hi All, I have been asked this many times. answer... You can't. For instance, If a rock chips the lens, you have to buy the entire light, Ferrari made the light one piece. Big money $$$$.$$ However, if your lights are real bad most Ferrari dealers can get Ferrari to replace them no charge! I will tell you what the problem is and why they are getting dirty, when the lights were installed at the factory they ran the drain hose, yep, drain hose forward and in the air duct where there is a positive air intake so that as you drive it sucks in water, dust, debris. This can be fixed by just angling the hose backward and run it through the chasse instead of forward an into the air intake, from all the 360 that had that problem (that I have seen) that is what caused it. A simple fix once you have the light out, just angle the hose backwards and place it into the body . But contact your dealer and see if Ferrari will good will or warrantee it. Anyone with a 360 should have this looked at, or there lights will get dim.... And there wallets light..... ~ There's my 2 cents. ~

I've asked here as well as Ferrari about this since last year. No reply from Ferrari and nobody had an easy, workable idea on cleaning it. Thanks for reminding me.

I'm going to put this topic on the Ferrari Owner's site to see if I could get a better response.

How do you get access to clean inside the headlight cover for a 360. the inside of my 360's headlight cover has a million water spots and just don't know how to get in there.
