Skip -

Find the car whose lights you like.  Get the model year.  Go to the parts 
counter at the dealer and special order it.  Yes, it's more expensive than 
getting the parts from a junkyard, but it will still be about 25% of the 
price of an aircraft part.  Besides, you can probably order the funky 
electrical connector you'll need at the same time.

I used this approach, and bought interior lights from a Chevy pickup truck, 
just like on 222H (a Grand Champion 360 built by Duane Hitchcock) for about 
$75.  I thought it was safer than removing the lights from my wife's truck....

By the way, I've been looking for a nice automotive cupholder.  Imagine the 
snob value available by saying "yes, this cupholder comes from a 1998 
Maserati."  Unfortunately, the nicest cupholders I've found so far come from 
a Hyundai.  Not much snob appeal there, I'm afraid.
