cover is a dealer item. Or you could try Gene at Karshop. He may be able to hook you up.

The cover cannot be purchased separately, only comes with the complete light assembly. But, the part is fairly cheap from the dealer.

By "fairly cheap", you mean less than $100?
As much as I hate to, I guess I'll go to the dealership and check it out. Ugh!

LOL, you never know with the Vette tax! I ordered mine from Gene Culley through GM Parts House. I think it was under $15 if I remember correctly.

Default Gene - all the way !!!!!!!!!!!

I just ordered the exact same piece from Gene Cully. He is absolutely the best. All the dealers told me was that the part was on back order and they had no idea when they could get it if at all. E-mail Gene, mine showed up in two days for much less than the dealer quote.

Hey Bryan, you wouldn't happen to have a part number would you? I always have trouble finding things at gmpartshouse.com. I agree, Gene always seems to have the best prices, tho. If no part #, what should I look for or call the item? Thanks in advance for your help. Bill

There you go! See what I mean! Always the same old BS! I get so sick of hearing horror stories about dealerships! It's really sad. They take your money (a hell of a lot of it, too) when you buy a car, and after that, good luck, buddy, if you should ever need a part! Thanks, Coloradoan. I'll give Gene a jingle. Gene a jingle? Did I say that?

You may want to call Gene on Monday to verify, but I believe the correct part can be found by looking in the collision catalog under: hood; hood and components; under hood lamp. The price is $11.81 plus shipping.

I just shot off an e-mail to Gene. I'm sure he'll give me all the info I need. Thanks for all your help, guys! As always, you Forum members are the BEST. Should of thought of Gene in the first place!
