    Has anyone with a earlier model California noticed the little reflector crystals on the led lights falling out? The lights still work just the crystals a rolling around inside the light.

    Drives me crazy, apparently no fix other than replace.

    Thinking out of the box,
    I had a similar problem with a Rapido A class Motorhome, I used a Dremmel cutting tool with a .5mm cutting disc and worked my way around the welted plastic seal to split the unit.
    Once i clear bonded the “jewels” back in place i then fixed the two half’s back together with Sikaflex clear resin bond which is waterproof and is almost a bombproof seal.
    The result was me saving £’sss and the light unit being repaired and restored back to a flawless and perfect state.

    Cheers Andrew

    you must have a lot of confidence and skill to pull that one off! That said, one would think that a Ferrari specialized mechanic would have a similar solution. I will suggest it to them and see what they say because I’d rather live with it than attempt it my self. Thank you Andrew

    This literally happened in my ‘10 Cali over the past weekend, very strange.

    Our 2013 California has a loose one on the driver's side. I'm guessing heat, age and vibration have all played a part in this.

    I looked to see if there was any recall but nothing listed. I don’t trust my self to try to remove the cover lens.

    They can be opened and repaired. There are several services listed on eBay that will refurbish them. Expensive, but nowhere near a new one.
