Overhead console map light lens and retaining ring
Finally got caught up on other things to begin sorting out why the previous owner had removed all the interior light bulbs. Turned out that the driver side door switch was bad, and he'd pulled all the bulbs, because he couldn't figure out why the lights wouldn't turn off.
Anyhow, now that I have interior lights again, I'm trying to figure out just why the overhead console map light lens (ball), and retaining ring are missing...but, when I see used overhead consoles for sale, most of them seem to be missing the same thing mine is missing.
Anyhow, anyone have an idea where I could find the missing map light lens and retaining ring? Everything else is complete on my overhead console---even the Camaro flashlight is present.

Re: Overhead console map light lens and retaining ring
They are probably missing a lot because they are super easy to remove. You can find them on ebay quite often. Just be leary of some people who charge entirely too much for stuff like that.

I was half asleep when I replied...what sort of condition is your lens in, and what would you be willing to sell it for?

The lens is in good shape...I'd take 20 dollars shipped for it
