1979 242 GT[ALL/1988] posted by Dave Girard on

Hello, I've searched far and wide for Bosh H4 headlamps to no avail.
The reflective backing on them has deteriorated and I believe I have to replace the whole unit.
I'm also looking for an instrument cluster that caught my attention.
It has a black metal surface, orange readouts, and round guages with a slightly raised ring around each of them. The RPM and speedo are in the center with two
smaller round guages set diagonally on either side.
I would appreciate any information regarding price and availability.
Thanks for your help.

Dear Dave
The instrument cluster you speak of was a dealer option, know as the GT Panel. Basicly it was a pile of ^&*(^!!! The speedo cable never lined up right and the gauges where less then accurate. Knowing this and if you are still determined to have one. I have a coulpe I have taken out of cars over the years and replace with stock panels.
Those H4 lamp assemblies were a pain in the poop shoot too.
Iwould go to a wrecking yard and pick up a couple of conventional buckets. They bolt right in . Super easy job.
Good luck
