Default Help with part 1998 c5

Please help me to locate a part for a 1998 c5-It is the circular cover to the access cutout on the headlamp assembly. There is a hole of about 3 inch diameter,covered by a pop-in plastic disc that covers the access to the lamp adjustment screw. I need a replacement. No big deal,it just bothers me at night to look at the light coming through the housing. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's what I would do - get the updated bezel that came out late in the '99 model year. The access plug locks in place and will not fly out unexpectedly. I lost a couple on the early '99 I had and the dealer ended up using the updated bezel and plug to solve the problem.

Dealerships only stock the new, smaller plugs. AND you must buy the new bezel for them to fit.
