Anybody ever seen one of these in a GT? Is this some rare factory option rear window defroster or just an aftermarket gizmo. It was in my GT when I got it, powered up by what looked like the speaker wires, I never did find the on/off switch for it though.

Aftermarket. My GT had one of these when I bought it 25 years ago, and it made a bunch of noise and did NOTHING to de-frost the rear window. Now I live in Canada, so I needed a "defroster" rather than a "defogger". I removed it and installed an aftermarket wire grid on the window, which worked great.

    I have been contemplating replacing my non-working clock in my GT with a voltmeter/oil temp gauge from Opel GT Source or a vacuum gauge, if I can find one that fits. The voltmeter/oil temp gauge from OGTS looks very nice. My question is, where do you hook the sending unit for the oil temp...

    Was wondering if anyone has added a rear window brake light to their GT and if so which one fits the best, looks the best, works the best. And what are the pros and cons. Thanks.

    I have searched, but can't seem to find the information I need. In the instrument panel there are several bulbs used for illumination of the gauges, lights over the switches, and the cluster between the tach and the speedo. I have my instrument panel almost rewired completely. I want to put...
