308 Headlight Mod

Completed the modification on my 308 that allows the parking lights to be used without the headlight buckets popping up.

Here are the URL's of the articles;
www.ferrariclub.com/faq/308headlights.html
www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/256120/227670.html.

Unlike the article I tapped into the male spades for the high and low beam circuits to the right hand headlight.

Step 2, Locate the motor relay

Step 3, The male spades common to the high and low beam headlight circuits. Move the existing connectors to the rear set of spades.

Step 6, Pop the blue wires from 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions from the motor relay base.

Step 7, Cut the 6 o'clock wire from the 3 o'clock position.

Step 9, Fab new harness and install.


The other end of the new harness installed at the 3 o'clock position.


I used 'electronics grade' uninsulated inline crimps with solder then double sleeved with shrink tube.

It works!

Hey DJ,

great modification.

Would you have a problem with your Mod going into the permanent Tech Archives?

Regards, JRV

No problem. Happy to contribute.

JRV,

Couldn't have done it without you Dave.

Hi Dave & DJ,

Why don't one of you post the link on the NW site and giveproper credit to those who shared in putting it all together. Like many good Tech Articles this appears to be the co-operative effert of more than one person and all those who made the articlepossible deserve credit.

Thanks Guys, JRV

The link is posted at the beginning of this thread and in Daves post.

Terribly sorry for the confusion!
I will be more careful in giving credit where credit is due. I just assumed that people would see who wrote the NW region article down at the bottom.
Thanks, DJ

Completed modification with Euro lenses.
