Interior Light Lenses
Discussion
If you mean the ones in the back on each side, I believe they are a standard fitment on many cars and are readily available. Mini's used them.

The original ones on my car were rectangular with rounded ends, if that makes sense; quite a dense white plastic with no switch.
They had also gone brittle and were dropping to bits so I replaced them with something more modern, fitted with switches so you can put them on with the doors closed. Two behind the seats and two in the boot, but I've often thought that a couple under the dash would be a good idea as well!
I think mine might have been pulled from a VW of some flavour, but they were all much the same size and shape.
I'm sure something even more efficient could be arranged for the boot using LED strip... a long way from original I know but sometimes practicality should take precedence.

Only thing with under dash lights is to make sure the on/off is nowhere near your knee...as is the case in the 280i...the times I have knocked it and come out a few days later to a flat battery...They had also gone brittle and were dropping to bits so I replaced them with something more modern, fitted with switches so you can put them on with the doors closed.

So am intending to fit some LED bulbs and move the switch to the centre dash, I removed the radio as a bluetooth speaker will suffice when needed
Good idea regarding the boot light, I have nothing at present...
