Dome light lens

[6T9QDA]

I have two dome light lenses, one original and one reproduction and they're both a dingy yellow, barely passing any light at all. Does anyone supply one that is really white, or better yet, clear?

Not sure on the lens, but can you swap to led? Less heat that way at least.

I have an LED in it, giving a nice clean light, but these lenses make it look like a 15-watt lamp in a cheap motel room.

Look around at the aftermarket suppliers. Someone has to have a white one.

Here, I'll do the work for you. Classic Industries has a white one.

Thank you. I’ve been curious about this “Google” thing that everyone’s been talking about.

That may be the actual product, or could just be a sample pic. I might have to actually make some phone calls.

So I bought that part number from Summit, and the total to my door with tax and shipping was $21. It's a white lens and what I wanted, but Jeez Louise.

Cool cars the way you want them aren't cheep. (and $21 is pretty cheap)
It probably cost $5000+ for the mold to make those lenses.

The cost of the lens was very reasonable, I just wanted to whine about shipping. The lens weighed less than the box it came in.

You just wake up from a 2 decade sleep? Bitching about $21 shipped total to your door? Lmao. Shoulda tipped the delivery driver.

Truthfully, I feel fortunate to be able to get it at all. It just stings a little to see the price triple.

And most of us can well remember the phrase: "Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery." I had it in two days.
