    Hello,

    My 72 Skylark has the sail panel lights, but no dome light in the roof. I am trying to find new bezels for the sail panel lights. It appears that it's possible the bezels are the same for the dome lights as the sail panel lights. I know that the lenses are different, but are the bases (or bezels) the same? Thanks!

    I truly doubt they are the same, although I have never had a dome light Buick. But I would think that the dome light would be much larger (like 3-4") than the sail panel lights.

    The single center dome light is larger than sail panel lights, at least in comparison from my old 70 Skylark to my 72 GS.

    Thanks guys. One reason why I love this board so much - great info!
    I'll drop it then. Only thing is I wish is that someone reproduced the sail panel bezels!

    Hi Mike,

    Can you tell me what part number they are? I have never bought anything from PartsPlace because their online catalog drives me insane and nothing has a picture. How do people know what they are getting?

    Mike are you sure that you are not referring to the lens? Andrew needs the bezels which is what the bulb and lens mounts to. I am not aware the bezels are reproed. Up until recently you must get core rechromed by a plastic rechromer. The other poster is correct that the overhead bezel is remade but is bigger than the sail panel bezel.

    Sorry I thought you were talking about the lens.
    :Dou:
    They list a reflector but I have no idea what all comes with it.
    :confused:
