My speedometer idiot signal lamp plastic lens is totally warped over 40 years of exposure to the bulb heat. Can anyone offer a solution, thanks.

You could switch to LEDs, or just use gel filters from any theater supply place. Or leftover plastic from a broken tail light lens.

Late model speedos can be found for so cheap I think I would just
change the Speedo. (Thats coming from a cheap ass)

Good suggestion.
Problem solved. I found an old piece of green glass theater spot light filter and cut it to size with a glass cutter.
