Interior light cover

[nmacarthur]

So, I've been trying to locate where I can find a replacement for my interior light covers. They're located on the wheel well and due to the age and what the piece was originally made of, they're brittle. The covers have a hole in them from where the light bulb heated them.

I've attached a pic and circled the piece. If anyone knows where to find these pieces, I'd like...dance - naked. I might let you watch.

i think yearone has them. the ones that are in my hearse are the same as 78-87 elcamino dome lenses.

Year one has them but you can get them cheaper from your local GM dealer. Ask for part #7731130. But hey, if you dance naked I'll send some for free.

Those are some interesting light covers. In my 76 there are big triangles cut out of the walls with hidden light tubes. It always amazes me how the lighting in the rears of coaches is layed out.

Denied on a technicality. Well, two can play that game.

You might also consider replacing your bulbs with LED bulbs. Those little halogen bulbs get way too hot for the plastic in the lens covers. It will not take long for the halogen bulbs to ruin your new lenses. Plus they come in a few different colors for mood lighting. I know you can get the halogen bulbs in different colors but the color burns off after about a minute or two. The led lights are much cooler and take less battery power to burn.

Good tip for the LED bulb. I had been considering just that to not have a repeat. I've lucked out with finding a local Chevy/GM dealer get this part tomorrow for about $5 each.

where do you get the LED bulbs to fit these?

Cool, glad that worked out for you.

The "LED Bulbs" text in my post is actually a link to http://www.ledlight.com/detail.aspx?ID=57. They have several different sizes so choose the ones that fit your application.
