Default Shift indicator lens

Has anyone found a replacement lens assembly for the automatic shift display indicator?

Nearly every Corvette parts supplier offers these (Zips, Motor City Vettes, Corvette Central, etc).
I did a quick search on Google using “Shift Indicator Lens C5 Corvette” and came up with a pretty extensive list.
Best wishes with your search.

Should have a number of vendors to source one from.

So far all I can find by inputting that very search string, are the repair kit that replaces the light defuser and Red gear indicator. These have already been replaced and in doing so noticed the outer bezel and lens that have the printed letters is snapped and that is for what I am searching.

Okay....I think I understand better now. I believe most people think of the defuser as the lens, and that is how many parts distributors list it.
It sounds like you are looking for the actual indicator (showing Park, Reverse, etc). I have not seen one listed, although that is not to say it is not out there. You may have better luck working with a used parts dealer specializing in Corvettes.
One of our forum sponsors, VetteNuts ( https://vettenuts.net/) may be a good starting point. There may be other sponsors that are used Corvette parts dealers but no one other than comes to mind at this time.
Best wishes with your search!

No worries, just the small things that I know are wrong tend to bug me the worst! I've reached out to Vettnuts but so far not much luck. My next thought is to buy the entire shift assembly off of eBay, maybe radical but I'd have the piece I want.
