Ceiling light covers

We are trying to get our Argosy 1978 22' Minuet back on the road after years of non-use. It has round ceiling light covers which are yellowed and discolored with age. They are so badly discolored that they hardly shed light. The same holds true of the more rectangular covers over the kitchen sink and in the bathroom.The wiring seems in sound shape. Any suggestions for finding replacement covers?

I know they are availble for www.inland.com you may also want to try a local Airstream dealer to save on freight. The ligHts used were the same Argosy or Airstream.

i recently purchased a 1975 overlander and the gentleman dod something unique that was wonderful. he took the light fixtures and each side has a large square rectangle that acts as a lens. he cut that piece out and installed new white deflectors or difusers that can be purchased at Lowes. i painted the outside and they look better that new. Less than 10.00 and it works great.Teemack
