Default 87/speedo/tach,bezel
I just repainted all my surrounds, but when I was ready to put on the speedo/tach surround, I noticed a piece of plastic missing. There is a little piece of plastic that covers the 3 little lights. They are the high beam, and turn signal lights. I can't find the plastic anywhere, are these lights green when lit up?.

I was thinking getting some window tint and covering, unless someone has a better idea. Don't know if you can buy a replacement,if so where, thanks in advance, Jim.

Default I think I have one.
I think I have an extra one of these plastic lens. As I recall the lens is about 3" long. Let me check in my garage and I'll get back to you.

OK, I'll bite. Where do those pieces go? I don't remember seeing those on my '86.

Yes, but the OP made it sound like it was attached to the bezel, when in fact it's a piece from the LCD cluster.

Yes, that's it. It goes over the lights on the lower part of the LCD cluster as the photo shows.
