    Took my breath away when I looked up a new one at Scuderia.

    ‘Or Best Offer’ might be worth a look.

    Had exactly same issue on my California 30 from 2013. I realized most California’s headlamps don’t have this problem, and assumed my headlamps came from a faulty production batch. Price of new headlamps is outrageous, over $18000 for a new set purchased at the dealer directly.

    I was lucky to find a set almost new on eBay (produced in 2014) for almost $4000 and sold the broken ones instead - all together $1000 net including installation. Took a year to find those (almost) new headlamps, but car is perfect and it was worth waiting. I think if you are ready to wait and spend time searching, it is worth considering.

    Good to know, thanks. Where did you sell the old ones? Did that take a long time as well.
