Source for Part of Headlight Cluster - 360

Unfortunately, this part is not available separately from Ferrari or Hella. I contacted both companies a couple years ago with no luck.

Over time this part becomes extremely brittle & crumbles to pieces if you touch it.

Checking eBay for used 360 light assy you’ll find this part is often missing.Talking with Ryan @ exotic auto recycling he has had little success trying to salvage this part from used headlights for customers. Instead sells the complete used light assy.

A new light assy will set you back $3-$4K . Russ @ Ferr Parts may be able to source you a Euro light (non HID) or odd color for a little less to use for parts (still around $2K)

Awhile back I purchased a used light that “looked” like it had a good adjuster. During unpacking I found the base cracked. I epoxied it back together, but it crumbled during installation. After gluing it two more times I gave up.

I ended up making an aluminum base that uses all the stock internal parts…shaft, gears. The stock top cover is retained with roll pins. So it looks stock, but is much stronger.

I had to remove the headlight assy from the car to install the backing plate for the aluminum base to screw into.

 

This part looks like a good candidate to be scanned and 3d printed

 

Now that is a GREAT idea.
Those 3D gizzmo's are affordable as well now.
We can all buy a 3D thing and start making them, and selling them to Ferrari, but make sure they go sticky before they break so they know what it's like.

 

Seriously Tom, look at a 3D printer. After freaky1's comment I went on line and checked them out.

Not only will they make a replica, they are cheap. Over priced Ferrari parts 'could' become a thing of the past.

Then I got to thinking, no, really, why couldn't I buy one and make all those sticky buttons again?

Unless there's something I'm missing this could be a great thing!

 

I've been privy to see a number of different plastic parts being 3d scanned , then 3d printed for our cars.

It's the way forward without having to pay exorbitant costs to Ferrari.

 

Myself and a few other enthusiasts have constructed a replica of a Lear45 cockpit for a flight simulator and these knobs for the flight guidance computer (autopilot) were made on a Solidoodle 3D printer. As was said -- all you need is an original to make a CADD file from.

Yeh but someone will have one that you can use.
Just take a 360 out form the dealers and do what needs to be done. Or another 360 owner might help.
For me, I'm buying a scanner this week and I'm remaking those awful sticky parts. Or at least, I'm going to give it a go anyway.

 

Graham, the sticky parts are brilliant once you get the sticky stuff off of them! Use your energy wisely!
