Does anyone recommend a good source for either original or reproduction lenses for a 1957 Cadillac lighter indicator?  Mine is missing one and its kinda obnoxious when its dark and this light peeps out of where the lens would be.

Cool so does that just snap in place?  Or do you have to glue it?

It's held I to the chrome trim with a clip and screw under the lens.  I just looked at my car and you'll have to either remove the lighter housing or take that chrome piece off the dash.  Not as easy as I thought, either.

Those ashtrays are a pain to line up with the glove box and dash.

Yeah my ashtrays are kinda cockeyed...So long as they can be adjusted its not issue.  My one problem is that the left ashtray plastic has broken edges....I'm not looking forward to finding a replacement because I know it'll be $$

Hello

I purchased a couple of used ashtrays from a guy whose email address is below. He didn't charge a fortune either.

Give him a try.
