Could always change it to Replace Connections Before Completely Replacing Components. Because no one ever listens the first time it said.

Can you try to describe the issue? Does it pop or click? Wander? Or does it just a general vagueness?

I'm contemplating having some made, but only if they don't already exist. Also, does anyone know if their dome and cargo lenses can be swapped? For some reason I feel like they can, but I honestly don't recall.
I don't know about the clear lens (I hope so though!), but I'm pretty sure you can swap the dome and cargo lenses. If I remember correctly, I used a cargo lens for my dome light when I lost the cap. The pop on and off real easy though, just pop it off and try it.

How much coolant is held back by the heater core hoses and upper radiator hose? I need to replace the stupid ****ing inlet tube off of the water pump and I'm not sure whether I should bother cleaning a catch pan out (doing this in garage, nothing ends up outside)

Close to a gallon, I believe.

That's a lot of paper towel. On the plus side, I imagine there's not much in there anyway as the fitting is rotten right at the water pump.

I'll get a pan of some sorts. Thanks dude

Old cat litter box works well for that. I keep a couple of 'em around just for that.
