Looking for miscellaneous parts

[Whitaker717]

Hi guys I am looking for some used parts for the Comanche. First, I need a floor shifter indicator bezel. I can’t read my letters on mine and it’s cracked. Second, I could use the 2 cargo lights in each corner of the truck. I know that one will be hard so if someone could point me to a website or if someone has a couple laying around I would buy them. Thanks guys!

A good pair of interior lights might be hard to find.  If that's a bust, take a look at an alternative:

I might try that. What kind of lights are those again?

[scaleless]

Interior lights for 1961-1998 Porsche 911s - very common and still produced by Hella.  Here is a new one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Interior-Dome-Light-For-61-98-Porsche-911-356B-356C-356SC-912-930-Turbo-PQ25K6-/202578503148?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

 

There are a few used ones up as well.

 

Theres also an actual set of poor-condition Comanche lights on ebay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-2-1986-92-Jeep-Comanche-MJ-OEM-B-Pillar-Interior-Lights-/184439265033?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

 

Side note, and I don't think anyone has tried it yet, but the dome lights for Targa Porsches is slightly different and looks a lot like what's in our trucks:

It might be a much better fit, but I'd be worried the dimensions are slightly too small

Look for a set of Euramtec 7180 with the 1001-B bezel.  They are found for around $20 and look great.  I put LEDs in mine and they light the entire cab up, almost too bright.

I used to have an ebay link but it's not up there anymore.  Here's an alternative place to buy them.

@Dzimm I love that option. Will I need to put new butt connectors on them or are they plug and play? Thanks for option! Those look good too

[schardein]

There are also other options.  There are lights from a Chevy S10 Blazer that work if you are willing to enlarge the opening slightly.  There are also lights from a VW that work.

 

For the shift bezel, are you talking about the transmission console shifter?  If so, 3 speed auto or 4 speed auto?  Do you care how original it is?  You can use ones from later Cherokees, but the font is slightly different (if it is for the 4 speed AW4).

 

It might help if you add your Comanche's info to your signature line.

I’m not sure I know how to do that yet. Lol. It is a 4x4 auto on the floor. I can’t read the D,R,N. It’s worn out. It is just a plastic plate it looks like. Hope that helps.

They do look really good.  Even with my gray interior they blend nicely.  You will have to cut and put butt connectors on.  You will also have to file a very little off each end of the slot those go into, they are just a hair too big to fit without filing.

You don’t happen to have instructions how to do that do you? Are the new lights 3 wire too?

They are 3 wire so you'll use all three from the MJ.  I just swapped the wires around until it functioned as I wanted with the doors and such.  I don't really have any info on the installation of the lights other than this picture of my wiring setup.  I can't remember what the MJ wire colors are for the light but I likely tried to match the color of butt connector to the wire so maybe this could be helpful.  Just make sure everything works properly before snapping them in place because you have to remove the B-pillar trim to remove these lights since the release tabs are on the back.

Thank you very much!!

Do they come in pairs?

When I ordered mine through an eBay seller they were in pairs.  The verbiage on the Partshubdirect link I posted makes it sound like they are selling them individually.  May need to contact them to double check, I've never ordered from them so I have no idea.
