license plate light lens

Does anyone know where to get the clear lenses for the rear license plate light for an `88 Iroc? I have looked all over and no luck. Is this a salvage yard item or is it possible to make my own? Everything I have seen so far is in worse condition than the ones I have.

Re: license plate light lens

JamesC, thanks for the insight. I did not think about polishing the lenses but mine are damaged. They both have holes and pieces broken off of them and water /rain can get into the housing too easy if I don`t replace them. If not damaged I would follow your suggestion. Does the polish also work for colored plastic lenses?

I did my tail and turn signal lights. I'm a bit **** and I'm satisfied with the results.
