N/A from Dodge and no after market support. Theres not much to choose from. Used and yellow or make a mold and try your hand a making one from resin.

I painted mine black. The bulb and socket were already broken so I took a little halogen running light I got for free and wired it into the cargo light button (my truck has a roll bar so that's where it's mounted)

ya its soo strange why these reman companies dont make them. they are such a simple small part, they make the grill shells, power mirrors rocker panels fenders floor pans signal housings...and they cant make a cargo light. doesnt make sense. pisses me off. id love to just have a brand new one nice and clear with an led bulb in it. man it would look good.

could be out there but who knows.

You can sand a good amount of the yellow out of them. Just takes a bit of time, and then polish it back up after sanding.

Id try one of those headlight restore kits with the doodad that fits in your cordless drill. In the neon world, before those kits were available, lots of guys used toothpaste. The grittier the better.

On plastic, I've used 500 grit, to 1000, to 3000 wet, then polish. Comes out nicely.
