    Default Map/dome light styles

    I need to find a new map light for my 84 svo. Everyone I've seen so far is not the same as the one I have. Mine is longer with both a dome light in the rear with a map light closer to the windshield.
    Does anyone know of a source for new ones or am I looking for a good used one?

    The map light portion looks common. Can you buy a typical one, disassemble it, and swap it into yours?

    Some additional repair info I have hung onto. I ended up finding a decent replacement and never had to do these myself.

    No the plastic body is the problem. The plastic has become brittle and is broken and epoxied in a couple places. If I can't find one I will use panel bonding adhesive to "rebuild" where it needs it but I'd rather just find a better one.

    Pinto's/ Bobcats and Mustang II's use a similar style but they have the notches for the sun visor pins so make sure you look closely before you pull the trigger. I might have one like yours. It is black though. Let me check when I get home.

    Ah, gotcha. I've never seen repros available. Similar to Tigger, I have a spare canyon red one if you are in a bind. The latch has been fixed but you can have it if you want for the shipping. Tigger's shipping would cheaper from the US though.
