Default anyone got any ideas

I want my car to look that part inside that it does outside at the moment and I can find practically anything I need, except an interior light. The light works fine but the plastic covering is just turning into powder and over 70% of it is missing. Does anyone know where i could get a plastic covering or even *Shudders* a whole new assembley. (I do have a budget so there is not a chance in hell that I can afford a genuine one) Cheers

I was thinking looking in the UK may have been a better option.

Does it look anything like this:

At 35 quid it's not cheap, it depends on how much your car to be 'original'. The above link also says to drop him a line if you're after anything in particular.

You could drop the seller in that eBay ad a question, he might be able to steer you on the right track...
