Guilia Super inner lamp buckets

Faithful: I am in need of a pair of these inner lamp buckets. Who amongst the brood will know if the GTV inner buckets and the Super are inter changeable ? I have the US version front grille with 4 lamps.
I also posted a WTB: ad for this purpose

Thanks all !

I don't have the PNs in front of me, but I don't think they're the same as GTV. The Giulia bucket has some offsets in the base that fit into the non-flat body shape.

Inner Lamp Buckets

I don't have a GTV parts book handy to check, but lights from a GTV may not work. I bought what was billed as a pair of lights from a GTV on eBay for use on my Super project. The mounts were correct, up to a point. The problem was that they were both constructed the same instead of being right- and left-handed. The difference is in the orientation of the mounting holes and the extension where the sping is mounted. As a result, I now have two buckets that will fit in the right-hand light opening and none for the left. Maybe the seller was confused as to what he had, or maybe the GTV lamps are different.

In any case, good luck on your search, and if you find two sets, I'm a buyer for the second set - or one good left-hand assembly. Better yet, find two left hand assemblies and we can trade!

Regards,
Bob A.

Would they work in a Berlina? My car is a gray market import, and I need to replace the inner headlights, and so need diffrent bucket.

Try Prins Bredevoort

This Netherland based source may be able to help you.

Look through his site under parts for Giulia, and then select Chrome (I think).

http://www.classicalfaparts.nl/

Website for Prins Bredevoort. Choose English, and with a bit of fiddling with the site, it's a great resource.

Found out from APE that the inner headlight buckets from a GTV will work on a Berlina. FYI
