Lenses on dash cracked!
The lenses on my dash if that is want you want to call them, are cracked. I'm not talking about my speedo lens but the thing bar of lenses that light when you turn on your blinkers or high beams. I was wondering if you can replace just that things strip or do I have to do the hole dash assembly? Everywhere I look they only have the hole assembly. Any help would be much appreciated.

It isn't the speedo lens but the smallest rectangular strip just below the speedo that lights up for your directional and high beams. I just can't find the part. Every place I go it's the hole dash. All I want is the small rectangular strip. Any help on where I can find just that piece or a link would be much appreciated.

I would think so. I retired from the glass industry. Home, Auto and Residential.
Take the broken assembly out. I would think there is the chrome or whatever it is outer ring that supports the lens to the gauge. When you look at the bottom side of the gauge ring you will see where it is crimped to retain it. Carefully with a small, I mean small, screwdriver or pry tool and slowly go around the circumference. Once go around and maybe twice to allow the ring to be removed. Once it is off, take the lens out carefully, tape it as if it wasn't broken. Take it to a local glass shop and they should have the ability to cut a circle or any shape you wish. Once it's cut they should be able to sand it smooth.

Maybe a picture of the cracked lens would be helpful. That way we are on the same page
