Pete at Nisonger told me that the bulbs generate a lot of heat. The original
plastic windows withstand that heat. He also said OEM windows are not made
any more. So what to do? OEM yellowed, opaque or such as a clear, plastic
bottle or other? Perhaps a gentle cleaning with plastic polish? I take it
you have not had any issues with melting, warping (lets dust in any gaps) or
that slight smell of plastic getting overly hot? BTW, Nisonger did a
fantastic job repairing and rescreening my gauges. Highly recommended!!

The sparkling water I buy comes in plastic bottles with straight sides and
rather heavier plastic than the usual drinking water.  I cut a section of
that, which seems to be working well.

Probably there is some soft drink that comes in a similar bottle.
