Losing Side Marker Light Covers
I've looked on the web for replacements for this cover as several have disappeared. It's hard to tell if they are the right ones as measurements only rough - 4x2x.5. Those that remain, I've added a spot of aquarium silicone cement to one spot.
Does this look like the right one: https://www.amazon.com/Optronics-A32...5147766&sr=8-3

I tried NAPA and several other places and while the covers are close they aren't quite right. I also had to use a drop of silicone to hold it in place. I'm sure trekwood.com has the proper ones, but most likely not worth the price.

Look closely on the amber light cover and you should see a DOT number. If you can get that number, you can find the correct size at somewhere like etrailer.com.

I had the same issue. Finally gave up on finding the correct cover. Went to Harbor freight. Two LED marker lights for like $6, with each fixture containing two LED bulbs. Changed the entire fixture. Surprisingly the mounting holes matched.

This is exactly what I would do.

Robert made me hunt harder. Very, very difficult to feel and even harder to see -- Optronics SAE A-P2-DOT-14. Did the thing on AMZN and it was the one I referenced in post #1. Can even see the DOT# on their page. I had made stops at Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight, and AutoZone to no avail. I did find the Harbor Freight complete fixture but with all the factory silicone I would need to remove (that stuff sticks!!), wasn't sure I felt that strong today. Thanks all.

I broke one of mine this last Spring when traveling. I stopped in on the first RV dealership we came up on in our travels and checked their parts area. They had them. I picked up a replacement for the one that broke, and a second one for a future need. As I remember, they were very, very cheap. I also picked up a couple red one's too, just in case.
Check with your RV closest dealership parts area, if you haven't done so yet.

I purchased several complete lights from Amazon and found them to be much better. On one of my lights I found they drilled holes next to the proper holes and tightened the screw to tight causing the lens to be loose. The other one was the amber side light near the door. On this one the wiring which connects all the lights is behind the basement back wall on the opposite side. One wire was missed by the wire crimp. I removed the crimp connector and replaced with wire nut.

Just replace them with new LED clearance lights and be done with it. I had to as well.

I had to replace the red running lights on the side/rear. I just went to the local Montana dealer and they had them in stock and decent price ($5-8)

I've lost a few of these over the years I now wrap a piece of black electrical tape around the light. Keeps the lens on and keeps water from entering vis the seam.
Finding the exact replacement is very hit 'n miss. As long as they fit you're good, unless you absolutely must have all matching exactly.
