Default Hole above rearview mirror.

Just bought a beatiful 88 XJS convertible. runs great, but needs some cosmetic TLC. Does anyone have a clue as to what goes in the headliner just above the rear view mirror? I would think a dome light since it has two leads coming out of it. If so, any idea where one can be purchased? thanks.

Default hole in your headliner

Yes, that's a dome light. Very fragile ... glass that flips from position to position. No longer available but you should be able to find one online. I'd recommend Graham Hallett graham@grublogger.co.uk . He's found a few things I've needed.

I appreciate the help. I am looking for any and all links I can find for parts/etc. I will certainly go take a look. Steve

Have you tried Jagbits? They have a ton of stuff but can be pretty pricey. Doing a quick search, they do have dome lights. They're $140 (US).

Thanks for the input. you are right. 140 is a bit pricey for a dome light, especially when I am going to have the rag top replaced soon anyway. thanks again. steve

Default Thanks for the heads up

RobinLarry, thanks for letting me know about the Ebay. But in my book, it's first come first serve. Don't want to compete with a fellow poster.
