Sounds like you are talking about the clear lens that goes over the guage cluster. OPGI sells it for $70.45. By the way, welcome to ECC, Ian.

If the plastic is discolored or fogged, try Meguiar's Plastic cleaner. It works miracles on gauge plastic and also on plastic over headlights that fog. I have an old Nissan in addition to my Elkie and it cleaned the dash pod lens like brand new. I couldn't believe it.
