Clear dome light cover?

Hey all. I looked around but could not find anything. Does anyone know where I could get a clear dome light cover for my 91 Camaro? Do they even exist? Thanks

Not that I know of, but I don't know everything (ask my wife). Should you be looking for more/brighter light, you might consider LED's. Check post #5 of the following link:

Re: Clear dome light cover?

Yeah, LEDs would be the way for more light. A clear dome light lens would look ugly, IMHO.

Re: Clear dome light cover?

Yeah, there's no such thing as a clear factory domelight cover. I don't think you would want want one, the inside of the domelight isn't pretty and you definitely wouldn't want to show it off with a clear cover.

Re: Clear dome light cover?

if by hyper blue do you mean blue as in a cops lights blue or the white that has a blueish tint, because white LEDs are naturaly that pure with with a blue tint, otherwise you can get blue LEDs too

Re: Clear dome light cover?

Yeah I would like to do a cop like blue in the dome light. Though with the current cover it would look like crap. I'll look into that link a little harder!

Re: Clear dome light cover?

your current one may of yellowed with age, a new one will be a frosted look, white lense

as for the LED there is a LED board that has a lead on it, it has a glass tube to go in the bulb socket, it has wires on it the go to a board that has X amount of LEDs, i recomend atleast 12, you can set that board with the LEDs glowing down directly on the cover and tape it in place with clear packing tape, that IMO will give you the best result you are looking for, they also make LED lights for your floor lights and map lights, get atleast 4 LED in the case of them
