Re: Headlight bulb source

[Robert Abatecola <robert@domain.elided>]

Thanks to everyone for the headlight advice.  I got enough responses 
to figure out that the bulbs are still out there in plentiful supply. 
The real problem is that the manufacturers are not listing Alfa Romeo 
in their reference books anymore, at least not here in the U.S.

The GTV6 takes 5006 (high/low) and 5001 (high) lamps.  I could only 
find H5006 and H5001, but since they're halogen they should be 
"better" than the tungsten lamps of old.  Someone please correct me 
if these are not drop-in replacements!

Although I haven't bought any yet, I heard from a few of you that the 
Spider uses a standard 7" bulb.  I see them in every shop, so once 
again, there will be no problem finding them.
