Last piece of the puzzle for my LV restoration. Anybody have one of these they're willing to part with? I haven't seen one before, just noticed it in the photos for the LV that's on BaT right now.

They were not on north American imported LV ‘s . Canada I believe and maybe Europe.

Does yours have the a and b pillar triangle shaped lights ?

Interesting that makes sense. Mine does not have those factory room lights BUT there are some well hidden aftermarket room lights inside that I want to keep. Right now I’ve got a late 70s headlight switch I’m using to switch those room lights, but it looks really out of place on the dash. I’ve got one of the early light switches i could include in a trade if anybody comes across one of these room lights.

Hmm I’m really trying to find the knob as much as anything. That switch looks like it’s missing the Room knob right?

Krondor might be able to reproduce one of these for me but he needs an original to make a mold out of. Anybody know of someone that has one they’d be willing to loan out for a couple of weeks?

Anybody know someone on the forum that’s in Indonesia by chance? There’s one over there, but I need someone local that can get it for me. The guy that has it isn’t on mud.

Found another one in indonesia

Found another one in indonesia

I found one here in the US! Should be in hand in a few days and then I’m going to let Krondor template it for anybody else that needs one.

Those NOS ones look really nice though maybe I’ll see if this one is more reasonable than the other guy that was asking over there. Wonder where these guys in Indonesia are getting all this stock? Some really rare parts over there used, let alone NOS

Update: got the knob! I’m going to send it over to Krondor so he can make a mold of it before I install it. Thanks everyone for your help!
