Member Posts: 30 Location: Germany | I did a remake of the dome light lenses for the 1960 4 door hardtops. The new lens features the original size and shape, but the tab and the pin are a little bit studier. It is 3d printed and made of transparent PLA, which releases more light than the original plastic. Fits perfectly in my car. 25€ + shipping to your location
Thanks for looking! Maik

Expert Posts: 1223 Location: Ramona, CA | Do you think the original color was white? I know other remakes were made in a yellowed color like old ones but not sure what they looked like originally for sure. | ||

Member Posts: 30 Location: Germany | You are right, in the photo it looks like white, but in reality it looks a bit like frosted glass. Actually I do not know the original color, maybe some of the other folks around know how they looked like when new? It is possible that the plastic yellowed from age. But I believe they were ivory from the factory. I can do the lenses in a different color if someone prefers that. I chose transparent only because I like the added brightness. I could even use glow-in-the-dark filament if you wanted some atomic afterglow in your space age car | ||

Expert Posts: 1223 Location: Ramona, CA | Can you see the bulb when they are off? Did you try any in white? | ||

Member Posts: 30 Location: Germany | No, you cannot see the bulb when it is off. I have not tried white yet but I fear it could become very dim. | ||
