    Hello fellow 355 owners, i would to get some help on a problem i have with the RHS pop up headlight. It seems to get stuck - when i turn the lights on, the LHS side comes up but not the RHS one. I have to give it some help by using my hand and pushing on the top of the light. Then the light comes up. Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated. thank you.

    It is most likely the grease inside the light mechanism. That appears at least to be the most common issue. Mine like a lot of others was worse in cold weather. If it was a pretty warm day both lights worked fine but on cold days the drivers side only went partially up. It eventually started blowing fuses. I don't know if you can repack the grease in the light. I just ordered a new lift mechanism from Ricambi (the lazy way out). It has worked fine for about two years now.

    thanks for reply Smyrna, when you say lift mechanism, do you mean the lift motor?
