In my current Grassroots Motorsport magazine, they have a nice update 
article on curing total headlight failures --- in Porsche 911s! The fix is to 
replace the column-mounted switch ($123.50) and rewire the switch so there's a 
relay in the circuit rather than running all the amperage thru thr switch, 
which frys itself. Apparently this happens often enough that Pelican Parts 
has tooled up to offer a $25 kit for 911s. Guess the same problem in Panteras 
(Mangustas?) is not unique after all. 
Obviously, the switches and likely the kits are not interchangeable Porsche 
to Pantera, but the basic premise is; time to look at your Pantera? 
FWIW- J DeRyke
