    can anyone confirm that it is possible to change the dipped beam bulb in a 355 headlight component on a uk right hand drive car????...........or is it a sealed unit where the bulbs cannot be changed???????

    I do know the headlights have replaceable bulbs, but since I have not had to replace mine yet .............. looking this up in the Manual like greyboxer suggested sounds like a good idea .................. ;)

    You might want to consider replacing the bulbs with these. LINK:http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=171084. I replaced both my low and high beams and they are fantastic. Do not touch the bulbs with bare hands. If you do, wipe them well with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). With regards to the method of removal, this exploded diagram will show you what to remove. Make sure you put several layers of 3M Painter's Tape around the light bucket opening in the hood and around the painted surfaces of the headlight bucket (#5). When you remove the painted headlight surround (#21), there a high probability of scratching paint if you don't. The surround (#21) is removed using screws (#27). Pull-off the electrical connections and the bulbs (#1) just twist out from the back of the plastic headlight unit (#3).
