Who has the most miles on there 458?

Did you find that your headlights were useless in night driving? My lights are like two candels in a jam jar? I have around 600 miles on mine.

 

Ask the Techs to raise them up. We raised a clients up 2.5 inches at 10ft and it made a significant difference.

 

Ah! Thx for thx, the service manager at foli said that they were fixed units and could not be adjusted...???!!!

 

i have to check for exact mileage but I suspect 2500 miles...owned since August

made all other cars in my collection seem worthless!!

 

Nah, you can adjust them... Here are the instructions how:

Adjusting headlight alignment


Remove the luggage compartment cosmetic shields ( E4.07).





Park the vehicle, unloaded and with the tyres inflated to the specified pressure, on a flat, level surface in front of a shaded white screen.
ref 2




Draw two crosses on the screen corresponding to the centres of the low beam headlights.



Move the vehicle 10 metres backwards and switch on the low beam headlights: The reference points P1 of the light beam must be lower than the respective crosses by 1/10 of the distance between the ground and the crosses themselves.



The values given here are with reference to applicable legislation in Italy. For other countries, comply with the local legislation.

ref 1

If necessary, adjust the headlight beams with the relative adjuster screws.


Refit the luggage compartment cosmetic shields

Thx Larry that is very helpful, I was wondering why the lights were so poor compared to my 911. Have a great Christmas!

 

I had the same problem of lights being too low- since I asked the leader to raise them, they are working very well (better than my Audi S4)
I have done 5900km (around 3600 miles) over 4 months.

 

Got mine last week. Parked it in the garage with 180km after the Christmas Weekend.

 

I've driven mine 10,000+ miles in my dreams...does that count?
