Instrument Cluster Part Identification

[duaux]

Hi,

Can someone help me out by identifying the following part name/number please?

I believe it is what gives the cluster the "red" effect.
Mine has gotton all bubbly and black over the years, making my cluster very dim.

Thank you.

AFAIK you can't get them new. But you can get them used - try gutenparts.com

FYI it's caused by running 5w or higher bulbs, they were only made for 3w bulbs. The extra heat is what melts the plastic housings.

Thank you Nando.

Can I run the cluster without the orange plastic?

[nando]

yeah it just won't illuminate that well. I'm sure if you contact ZM Blue Devil he can hook you up with a couple lenses. And make sure you put 3w bulbs in there. Mine did the same thing because the PO used 5w bulbs by accident.

Thank you very much Nando.
Cheers!
