Default Under hood Light

anybody know where I can get a new lens cover for my under hood light? I don't need the whole fixture, just the lens cover. Mine came up missing after a cruise night.

You might try the used parts vendor here on the forum - otherwise, doubt that you can get a new lense without buying the whole fixture, but I could be wrong.

Same thing happened to mine. I need just the lens part, or i'm covering it up with felt, and adding a couple of LED's attached to the factory wiring.

I am going to be in bloomington this weekend. There is a vendor there that has alot of C5 odd parts ie trim pieces. I will take a look and see if he has any of these. last year i bought several of the little trim pieces for the interior of the car from him for cheap..... he is in the swap meet area, i also saw the same guy in Carlisle last year.

he kinda stood out last year cause most of the swap meet people are there with the old car parts but he had a bunch of C5 stuff.

Or you could try GMPARTSHOUSE.

Thanks gang. I've tried most of the wholesale parts places and all they have is the entire unit. If someone finds out where to get them or if you pick up an extra one, give me a shout. Thanks!

If you can't get a replacement from one of the vendors here, You might want to get an entire replacement light from a late model Cadillac or Buick, something that looks normal and still gives you the same quality of light.
