Any idea where I can get a replacement lens for the map light? I checked Classic and they sell the whole bar for $100, and YearOne (nothing for 71-74 b-body). I'm going to do LED so the next one doesn't melt so easy! Thanks!!!!

Check with Jeff at 521restorations. He is the one that is making those panels and see if he sells just the lens.
Perfect, thanks! 14.95 plus the ride!

I made a new one , not exact but better than a brown melted original. I took a 2ftx 4ft plastic light fixture lens that slides into the frame for an ceiling office light, we had extras after a renovation, anyway I cut a small piece and put into the map light frame, works great cant tell the difference that much, now I know where to get the original type material replacement. is there a led bulb for this map light? we don't want a new 15.00 lens to melt and turn yellow again right? thanks!
I thought about using a ceiling light diffuse, but oh well! This might work, but I'm going to measure the bulb first.
