Does anyone know where I can find this replacement lens for the parking brake?

Welcome. I know that the dash bezel lenses for indicators and high beam are available but I've never seen any of the other lenses. I think you have to find a good old one.

I should have looked at your pictures closer ... The lens I think I have fit in the lower segment of the Fuel Gauge .. Left side large circle.
I believe that the indicator mark on the inside of the red lens varies in the years .. do you have any idea what you are looking for.
I may have one from a 1983 Suburban Cluster .. I will have to look I know there was a difference between the 83 Suburban and my 85 Blazer with both having the 6.2L Diesel in them.

Thanks for the replies. I have a 1975 K5 Blazer with a mechanical stock oil gauge. I believe my warning light is for the parking brake based on my research but I could be wrong. I’m not too concerned with what it is as I care less about it being functional and more for looks so there isn’t a big hole there.
Random story that I thought was odd- I was going to replace the stock gauges with an Inellitronix analog full gauge cluster but when I went to install it their cluster didn’t fit in my opening and the mounting holes didn’t line up. According to their technical support there were two random years (1975 and 1979) where a small number of square bodies gauge/dash setup were different. So I ended up deciding to rebuild my cluster.

1975 the brake light is for the combination/proportioning valve. If the valve over centers (closing front or rear) it will illuminate the light.
By at least 1979 (might have been 1977 or 78) the light will illuminate with the parking brake or if the proportioning valve has been tripped.

I needed one for my 75 Stepside. I found one on this forum and picked up another off ebay. They are out there, you just have to search for awhile. The one from ebay, the guy was selling a non working cluster and he sold me just the brake lens for $5.00.
