Looking for a interior light lens for a 1975 Datsun 280Z ?

---

Hi All.  The light lens is missing on my 1975 280Z and it looks like this one. If someone has one their not too stuck on, I'd like to buy it.

 

Thank you !

$25.00 plus shipping, it must be made of some pretty pricy plastics ?

That would be wonderful.

 

Thank you,

I recall seeing them on ebay for like $60+ a couple months back. I don't think Nissan (or Niles Electronics company) produces any of these parts anymore. $25 is "expensive" but they are probably made as small batches now.

🤷‍♂️

The one in my car crumbled when I pressed on the wrong area.  Unless a used one came from a garaged car I don't see why it would be any more durable, they all get baked from the roof heat.  That $25 replica seems like a good bet.  It's an odd color though.

Well, it states that mail service between Australia and New Zealand has been closed, so It doesn't seem like a situation workable right now at any price ?

They are hand made, one at a time. The color does seem off but Steve is very obsessive about making accurate reproductions. I feel confident the color is correct. He would be my first choice if you can figure out shipping.

Hay I found a new one from a company called Klearz <info@klearz.com for a white lens, but it looks like the whole lamp assembly has to come out of the car to replace the lens, can someone clarify this operation for me ?

 

Thank you,

The assembly comes out pretty easily. As I recall it just pulls out and has two spade plugs to disconnect
