The lighting of the Alfa Romeo GT Bertone provides vision at night, visibility in traffic and a clean appearance of the closed coupé and is an important part of road safety. As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo parts, we carry the lighting parts for all versions of the Bertone, from the Giulia Sprint GT via the GT Junior and the 1750 GTV through to the 2000 GTV. As above all the tail lights, the turn signals and individual add-on parts differ between the versions and years, the correct assignment to the version and the year is decisive. Ordering by the Bertone name alone easily leads to unsuitable parts and avoidable returns, whereas stating version, year and side allows a reliable selection. The following overview shows how the product groups of the lighting relate to the versions and what to watch for when selecting the lights. The lighting on the Bertone is both model-dependent and year-dependent and should therefore be selected precisely by version and year. As the lights belong directly to road safety, a complete and version-correct equipment has a particular importance.
Model and series reference
On the GT Bertone the lighting depends on the version and the year. With the tail lights a distinction must be made between the early versions with the engine sizes 1300 to 1750 and the later version of the 2000 GTV, as form, housing and lens differ. The turn signals, for example the turn signal set of the early stepped front, the headlights and their trim rings also follow the respective version and the year. Anyone who knows the version and the year of their Bertone can compile headlights, trim rings, front turn signals, tail lights, number plate lighting and the matching bulbs precisely and without wrong orders, and restore the lighting cleanly. The version and the year are decisive in the selection of the lights. Anyone who knows these points on their vehicle exactly can assign the matching parts reliably and extend the lighting step by step. As lamp, lens and seal are matched to one another, they should be regarded as a coherent unit and selected together.
Shared across the range or model dependent
The lighting of the Bertone follows the closed coupé shape and differs in arrangement and form from that of the open Spider and the four-door saloon. It would be wrong to assume that lights are freely interchangeable between Spider, GT Bertone and Giulia, since shape, fitting and arrangement depend on the body and the year. Within the Bertone versions the tail lights in particular differ, because the early lights of the 1300 to 1750 versions deviate in form and lens from those of the 2000 GTV. Common over several years are many bulbs and individual seals, but the visible lights and their lenses follow the version and the year. Anyone wishing to use lights from another stock or a donor vehicle should therefore check carefully whether they suit the version and the year of the Bertone, since the tail lights and turn signals in particular were changed over the years. So the bulb is often the same, but housing, lens and fitting follow the respective version and the year of the coupé.
Part types and product groups
The range of the lighting is divided into several groups. These include the headlights with their trim rings, the front turn signals, the tail lights divided by the versions 1300 to 1750 and 2000 GTV, the number plate lighting, the control lights and the matching bulbs. Added to this are the tail light lenses left and right, individual turn signal sets, for example the set for the early stepped front, as well as trim parts and sockets. There are also seals, sockets and fixings, which are easily overlooked during a repair but are important for a tight and reliable lighting and ensure a clean fit of the lights. The number plate lighting and the control lights in the interior also belong to the wider lighting area and are often taken into account during a repair. These groups cover the entire lighting from the headlights and trim rings via the front turn signals through to the tail lights and the number plate lighting and can be selected by version and year, so that a step-by-step repair remains easy to plan and individual lights can be exchanged one after another. As complete and reliable lighting belongs to safety and registration of the coupé, a careful and version-correct selection has a particular importance.
Differences by year, series or version
The most important difference lies in the tail lights, which differ between the versions 1300 to 1750 and the 2000 GTV. The turn signals also follow the version, because the early stepped front has its own turn signal set, while later versions differ. The headlight trim rings and the front turn signals also follow the version and the year and should therefore be chosen to match. Anyone ordering parts should therefore state version, year and the desired version of the light so that lamp, lens and seal match. Even with apparently similar lights a close look is worthwhile, because small differences in shape, lens colour, hole pattern and fixing decide whether a part fits without adaptation and the lighting in the end fits tight and reliable. Anyone renewing the lighting should therefore choose the lights and lenses matching the version and the year rather than mixing parts of different years.
Notes on selection
For a reliable selection it is advisable to determine the version and the year of the Bertone before ordering and to decide which light or which lens is needed. A photo of the existing light and its lens helps with assigning the correct version and year and avoids queries when ordering. The matching seals and bulbs should be ordered at the same time when changing a light, as they ensure a tight and safe fit and help avoid consequential damage from water ingress, which is particularly important on the closed coupé. With mixed stock from several sources a comparison with the version-correct variant is worthwhile so that shape, lens colour, hole pattern and fitting are right and later rework is avoided. Anyone fully renewing the lighting should plan headlights, turn signals, tail lights and number plate lighting together from the start and select them to match the version and the year. As a manufacturer and spare parts specialist we advise on the correct assignment and supply both original parts and high-quality reproductions in good quality, so that even older vehicles can be fully restored.
Frequently asked questions
Do the tail lights differ by version?
Yes. The tail lights differ between the versions 1300 to 1750 and the 2000 GTV in form and lens.
Do Bertone lights also fit Spider or Giulia?
No. Shape, fitting and arrangement depend on the body, the lighting is model-dependent and year-dependent and not freely interchangeable.
Is there a separate turn signal set for the early stepped front?
Yes. For the early stepped front there is a separate turn signal set, while later versions differ.
Do I also get the matching bulbs?
Yes. We carry the matching bulbs as well as seals, sockets and the necessary fixings for a clean fit.
What details do I need for a reliable order?
Version, year and the desired light or lens as well as the side left or right, if needed supported by a photo of the existing light.
Do you offer reproductions?
Yes. Alongside original parts we carry high-quality reproductions in good quality, such as tail lights and tail light lenses.
