How do you change the Bulb in front head lights? Thanks for any HELP!
1. Read the manual page 4.9 (that little booklet that came with the car) its amazing the things that are in there! 2. If your car didnt come with one.. Advice: Get one. 3. If need it today and above aren't happening. Remove the splash guard in front of front wheel. Then unscrew the headlight bulb (if incandescent) and replace. If it's an hid bulb, remove the bulb and the ballast (silver box) and replace. eBay had some on there a while back. Removing the front wheel on that side also helps with space though you can turn the wheel on the side inward for more space. Wiggle the connectors before you remove the bulbs to see if it isn't just a bad connection...
For quick part numbers and new parts consider using ricambiameria.com: FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS - Ricambi America, Inc. the bulb: 183672 $342 the ballast: 185554 $1995 however on eBay: the bulb: Ferrari 360 Maserati D2S HID Xenon Bulb Light 183672 | eBay the ballast: Ferrari F360 Modena HID Headlight Ballast | eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/FACTORY-OEM-00-04-FERRARI-360-MODENA-COUPE-Xenon-HID-Ballast-Headlight-Module-/322028465642?fits=Make%3AFerrari%7CModel%3A360&hash=item4afa646dea:g:F-UAAOSwJb9Wp-mv&vxp=mtr
I really advise you to get a higher kelvin Bulb, I believe the original is 4300k (and a yellowish hue) I use 8000k and it looks like a brand new car (white) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Do not buy an OEM bulb. They are Sylvania and available on Ebay for about $50 a set. OEM color is 4300k. If I knew the year of your 360 I could tell you exactly which bulb to get. A 2002 and later Modena uses a DS2. Here are some links to buy them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-NEW-PAIR-OSRAM-XENARC-D2S-66240-66040-ORIGINAL-4300K-OEM-HID-XENON-BULBS-/222003000010?hash=item33b068f2ca:gPYAAOSwCypWotvs&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-NEW-GENUINE-D2S-4300K-OEM-HID-XENON-BULBS-85122-/261322972451?hash=item3cd8101d23:g:vhcAAOSwxYxUyreK&vxp=mtr
I always recommend changing both HID bulbs at the same time. Newer bulbs never 100% match the color of the older ones. Close, but not perfect. The older HID lights get the duller they become....very slight, but noticeable to me. Personally, I'd change them both to 6000k. It is a truer white and the same color as BMW, Mercedes, McLaren, etc., puts in their cars. I put 6000k in my NSX, Ferrari 360 and Lambo Gallardo. Nice, clean, white light!
Here you can see the difference in color and hue Mine has 8000k and it looks great (similar to LED headlights) so I would stay with either 6000k or 8000k And of course change both bulbs Image Unavailable, Please Login
