Mini dome light under dash- where to get it?

Need little white dome lens in foot-well, but don't want to buy stock one for $40 or buy entire panel. Anyone know another item similar to this in size that is a good substitute or another device that uses it (besides F-bodies) that I can use as a donor?

You might be able to use one of those clear "eggs" that the 25 cent machines dispense to fit in there. Spray it flat clear to frost it or try a light coat of white on the inside and see if it shines through.

cut a coffee can lid and use that ,or go to the bone yard and get one , or find a nice third gen in a parking lot and see if the doors are locked . only one of these things makes sense , you decide.

You might try our site's classifieds for an OE.

You can go to Home Depot and get a small thin piece of plexi. Take a hole saw to it cut to fit. Scuff it up with some scotch brite.. Epoxy it to the back side of the panel.
