Hi,
So im missing both the bulb and dome light lens.
Would these 2 parts be correct?
Lens:
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1299315,parttype,11733
Bulb (One of the 2, which would be better?):
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1299315,parttype,2772

Trucks an 83 k10
I'm asking because im not certain how the bulb is powered. I have one 12 guage or something wire coming out of the ceiling where nthe dome light goes. How does this go to the bulb? Also, how is the lens held on there?


thanks!

To answer your question there should be a silver/ chrome base that is held up with 2 screws to the inner roof. That's being said on that base should be 2 clips. One is a ground and the other is a power wire. The plastic cover then clips into the base, of course after you install your bulb. Hope this helps!

LMC is the best place I have found... I might have one on second thought. I'll look and get back to you!

Let us know if you cant find one. I have three sitting in my shop.. plus new lenses.. I kinda hoard those small parts that wear out like the lenses.. They get brittle over time and break when you remove them to change the bulb.
