Default Anyone know where to get a new glove box light?

part number 94463211300. Pelican could not locate one. This is the last part until my 951 is fully reassembled besides the fuel rail cover but it looks better without it. I prefer new as 20+ year old clear plastic doesn't look good.

Its not like these things have the bulbs lit a lot or are sitting in the sun, so I would expect most older pieces to still look pretty clear. Besides, who ever looks at the inside top of your glove box? Mine still looks brand new after 20yrs.

But anyway, I'll suggest these guys again. You'll have to get something from them eventually. lol

I actually bought something from them yesterday. . All the small annoying parts that normal companies wouldn't deal with I get from them. Like a door plastic striker, TB spring, or yesterday's item a hatch release motor/cable connecting piece. Judging by the look of my glove box light and how easily it broke the PO must have put the wrong bulb in.

Yep, right next to the minifridge.


Here is the hole and wires for where it mounts.

If I am not mistaken I probably have both your fuel rail cover and your glove box light. I know you want new but both came off my 87 which had a really great interior. I'll look for the light and see what kind of condition it is in.

Its a not a VW part number. The interior dome lights are though.

A minifrig in a 944 would be SO cool! I saw one for a e38 the other day.

Schwank, let me know about your light as I can't find one anywhere. As for the fuel rail cover, I'd prefer to show my fuel rail off as its powdercoated.

So I just put the glove box back in without the light and cleaned up the interior a bit. Never mind that POS stereo, that thing is on my list.

RS stands for Rice Stage.


Sweet interior. The pedals match the silver trim really well. Whats up with your shifter? Does it always stand so... erect? (That reminds me that I need to get a fire extinguisher mount)

Now all you need to do is get it running.

Thank you for the compliments and link. Right now I'm working on LEDs for my license plate since I have the center panel and the wires going to my plate are really bad.


OK the RS is gone.

As for the shifter, it probably needs to be adjusted at the SS linkage. I've been thinking it was a bit off.
and shes been running for a while just very rich at idle and I have no clue above idle. Drove it a little bit this morning and might be doing a photoshoot with a 944 later today.
