68 Corvette Dome Light Housings

[Angelo M.]

Does anyone know if there are any reproductions of a 68 dome light housings? These plastic housings, which retain the dome light bulbs and are located on the left and right inside trim quarter panels - one year only. The light bulbs look like large fat fuses which clip into place. This is not to be confused with the white plastic rectangular len, housings are actually located behind the len. I was told that you can substitute for 74-82 housings from zip products but I don't think that seems right. I would also be interested in locating used originals if possible.

These are found on a coupe only. They are located on the inside trim quarter panel, panels are screwed on the inside next to drive and passenger doors, rear of the doors.

That bulb is a common one for interior dome lights of the era. I had a couple of Chevelles with that style of dome light bulb, so that part ought to be easy. The housing, maybe not so -- unless there is some other application for it.
