Looking for the glove compartment light
« on: July 21, 2021, 18:47:13 »
Hello Everyone
I am looking for the glove compartment light. I would be grateful if someone had this part on own stock or can suggest where I  can purchase it.
Thank you in advance!

Many thanks for the advise, I was trying just now checking this by Google/EBay etc, but unfortunately as result I got not this lamp like the unit in the Pagoda glovebox.

Now that is something that should be made with a 3d printer (and painted chrome afterwards) instead of paying ridiculous amounts of money …

Respectfully disagree.

It would look like 3D printed and painted.

Certainly could work as an emergency replacement while you are waiting for the real part.

Although you could have a 3D print in metal and then chrome. Mind you that will probably cost about the same?!?!

I did not know you can have 3D print in metal. I thought you would have to have it done by some CNC machine. Also: not every metal can be chromed...

And yes, I bet it could easily be over $200...

Yes, all clever stuff now. Item needs to be sintered after being printed

Is a lot more expensive though 😔

Having the light piece made in plastic will not work.
The light generates a lot of heat that will warp the plastic.
Metal is the best way to go.
If you have a friend with a CNC machine, maybe they can help machine a new one.

I learned about this site from a YouTube video - I have no experience with them, just FYI
