'96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo parts

Question

The headlamp covers on a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo I just bought are very cloudy and faded, and I haven't been able to find somewhere that will sell me a new factory set. I don't want smoked lenses or anything like that, just new factory ones. Will I have to go to a dealer (and pay their likely buffed-up price?)

Also, one of the dials is missing on the air conditioning/heat panel. There are supposed to be three, one to control air "speed" (lo, med, hi), one to control air flow direction (dash vents, floor vents, etc.), and the third controls temperature. It's the temp one that's missing. The middle k**b comes off with a little pulling, and I can put it in the temp one if I need to, but I'd like to have an original. Anywhere I can get one of those, too?

Answer 1

Check your local salvage yards for the parts.  Its just going to take time to find the parts, as everyone that owns a jeep goes to salvage yards first.  

Answer 2

Headlamps: Dealer. You can get crappy aftermarket ones at any parts store, but they'll cloud up or start leaking in short order. Shop nearby dealers, find out who's cheapest, and try getting dealers to match each other.

A/C k**b: Part number is 4720 841, list price is $20.50. Many dealers will have it for cheaper, but it's still an expensive little part new. I'd recommend hitting up junkyards and snagging one from a junker. Depending on the lot, they may not even charge you for it.
