Just took delivery of My 1st Ferrari, a F355! It's is awsome! Anyway i'll post some pictures when i get a chance.

Anyway i was hoping someone could help, how do i get the headlights to pop up? I've managed to turn them on (turn the indicator round) but the headlights won't pop up?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Awesome! Congratulations dude smile Fantastic choice of car!

I'm sure someone will be along to help shortly. Have you tried calling the vendor?! Probably a relay or something dumb like that!

They should just pop-up with the headlights being fully on (Indicator stalk turned away from you, two clicks).

I'm not sure there is a manual way to get 'em up? Sorry I can't be of any more help frown

Congrats on the purchase though, awesome aren't they!

ETA: You're probably better off asking over on Fchat or ClubScuderia.

Ah ha, got it!

"If you open the bonnet you'll see a black knob/dial at the top of the headlight unit, about an inch in diameter

If you turn that manually it will lower/raise the unit

IMPORTANT - Disconnect the power to the battery first or the pod may well snap shut suddenly and take a chunk out of one your fingers!"

Congrats on the new car matey!

I know you have been after one for a while.

Ferrarichat.com and clubscuderia.com are best for specific technical questions.

Thanks everyone for your help. It turned out that they weren't connected, so nothing serious!

Why weren't they connected? Seems a strange thing not to have your lights working. Is there an underlying problem?

Well, I got it resprayed before I got it and they hadn't reconnected the lights. So luckily nothing too bad.
