Choose your year/model, then choose Instrument Panel Garnish.

That link is virtually every part on the car. If there is a clear lens/cover, it's there somewhere. Look around for the clear cover. It is not entirely clear whether the part I referenced includes the clear lens or not.


Edit:

HAH!! Like I said, you've gotta look around sometimes. Save that link, it's hugely useful in finding parts and costs.

Look under Meter Components.

You're Welcome.

i'm pretty sure that there isn't a replacement lens cover for the cluster...
you might have to buy the entire instrument cluster!

The posts are correct, you should look for yourself, but it takes a while to figure out where to do the looking--Meter Parts?. Just for the record, there is a separate lens, 62 bux plus shipping:
