if you dont need a new one, the best place is a junkyard you can find them on ebay and craigslist

Mine was a little cloudy, i used the same kit they use to restore dull cloudy headlights. Worked well.

I cleaned my 97 Grand Prix headlights by spraying a paper towel with Deep Woods OFF and wiping the lens off. It worked really well. I wonder if this would work on the dash bezel lens?

 I used some plastic polish to clean most of the haze from the lens on my 79 already. I am happy with the results.

Dont use deet on plastic!! It will melt!  Deet got on my sunglasses and pocket knife and started melting away the plastic.  Get the headlight kit at wallyworld.

I know many parts for these trucks have been discontinued by GM, but you might try a GMC/Chevrolet dealer to see if the lens is still available.

If they show it discontinued, ask them to search the system.  If nothing shows up in the system, get the part number and search eBay and the internet to see if you can score a new lens.

I found a factory oil dipstick at my local chevy dealer.  1977, couldnt believe it!  The dealer can search all the dealers stock in the country.
