Need dome lamp for overhead console on 70 GranCoupe 2947947
« on: October 19, 2016 - 03:37:42 PM »
Anyone have a Dome Light for a Gran coupe that they are willing to sell? The part number appears to be 2947947.

Are you talking about the bulb itself? I bought mine off the web. Let me look around to see who had them......

Keep an eye out for one on ebay just in case no one here has one. They come up quite often and some are at a fair price too.  :cheers:

They were also found in certain C bodies. I found one at a wrecking yard. A 71.

I have been watching EBay. The only one that was complete was around $340.
Not just the bulb, I am missing the metal part next to the lens. I have yet to find anything that tells me what the bulb part number is. I ordered the only one that I thought might work (B2112). It has not come in yet.
I did see one that mentioned it was for a C body, but it was gone before I could get it.
Thanks for all the replies.

I found another one on nosmopar.com. they want $700 for it. This does not look good.

Let me dig through my parts I may have one.

I have not personally bought anything from Jim, but the horror stories form friends and board members who have, makes me want to buy a Chevy part  :eek4: and hammer it to fit a Mopar before I would buy from him.  :2cents:

Is that what they look like? https://www.bulbworks.com/light-bulbs/551
Is 551 the same as 550?

Found the Lens is produced by Tony Parts.

Is the 550 sometimes called 550-GE ?

I am not sure.  your best bet is to contact them, and ask if the fitment is the same, and are they interchangeable.
