Go to a salvage yard. That's where I found mine for $15 and just painted it black.

FWIW, mine was getting pretty dingy gray looking (the Lightning headlights are Photoshopped):



So, I just Scotch Brite'd it, and Krylon'd it. I want to get me a chrome grille this summer though, and paint the insert black again. This is the best pic I have of it, LOL - although it's dirty.

Thanks! For reference here's how crapy it looked when I pulled it. Just takes some elbow grease.

Driver door and passenger side interior door lenses. There just one per side and they should pop right out. Just the lens part, non of the innards. Should pop off easy...since both mine eventually fell off lol.

Know what I mean, I can get a picture.

They need to come from a 97-98 or will other models fit too? A picture probably wouldnt hurt. I would hate to go pull the wrong ones.
