I need new plastic symbols that lights on when starting the car. I need all the symbols on the right side of the dash like the battery symbol etc. Mine have faded away. It's for a '91 Chevy Caprice.

The symbols are part of the dash. The only way you can "replace" them is to make a decal and put it over the space provided. Your other option is to replace the entire dash. Where are you located? Fill out your sig.

They do come off. Mine broke off before, and I plasticwelded them back in place. Seemed to work okay.

I believe indeed it's a separate plastic unit attached to the back of the dash. Mine are all gone because of the sun. I wonder if there are aftermarket new ones for sale.
I'm located in Amsterdam Smile

The chances of aftermarket ones being available are about 0.

So, I have better change in finding a whole dash. But those are hard to find in my country. If someone has a whole dash for sale, and is willing to sell me only the plastic symbols, has my everlasting gratitude. Laughing

I have a whole dash. I can check for the quality of the light covers. Destroying the dash upsets me.

The one I have is not that great. You could always put decals on the little square lenses.

If I had clear pics of the symbols I could make some decals.

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. And printing them on transparante sheets. But the symbols are made of white lines so that's a problem. I still hope to find originals.
