    I am wondering if anyone knows what the interior of the bulb pot should be for an early 1980 Euro Carb Car please? Just wondering how many bulb holders. I'm looking to buy one but probably one close in appearance and colour as Im not going to spend a huge fortune.
    Ah sure while I'm asking, what colour should it be. I've searched this forum but not totally clear although I now know exactly what screwdrivers I should have.

    Thank you Walt. I've been looking at the www and if all were to be believed 308s had every colour in the rainbow.

    This looks good though because all the other bits match mine. Although mine is euro. I expect it needs to hold one of every bulb and one of every fuse.

    Perfect Martin. I don't think any more responses needed.

    This "Rotor" ones are rare indeed. I think I'll just try get the right size base with any kind of green.

    The green "Rotor" is indeed absolutely correct and the most typical; this is not to say that the factory might not have thrown another type in here and there, from time to time, but with a green "Rotor" you'd have the best standard.

    BTW. There once was an ultrarare item inside my bulb box, which I gave away for free to a frenchman while I suffered a stupidity attack. A yellow glass sheath for the H4 bulb.
    Bruno,
    were those glass sheaths still existent in the 328 era or did they use yellow H4-bulbs for the french cars?

    Best

    I have to check, as I changed the bulbs of my '89 GTB as soon as I got the car: I was seeing absolutely nothing at night...I changed for german "Narva" H4s, which are white and much better (at least, enough for coming home at night from time to time...)
    I think those on my car were yellow bulbs, although I know that some cars still did have the yellow sheath on the white bulb. The original bulbs are still "somewhere", I shall check.
