Need to replace the 5 light covers for the clearance lights. Do the covers popoff or does the whole assembly need to be removed?

Unless somebody has siliconed them in place, they pop off.

I recently replaced the lenses on all 13 clearance lights on our rig. After visiting every RV store in the Mesa, AZ, area, searching on line, and getting a local dealer to call the one guy working at Monaco National Parts, I was unsuccessful in finding the exact same lenses. I ordered the lenses that Monaco said we have from an online dealer, and they were close. I had to take a Dremel to each one to get it to fit. There are infinitesimal differences among the hundreds of models out there.

One place I didn't try was a truck stop. Somebody told me that they generally have on display many models of lenses.

It sure looks pretty now with those bright, unfogged lights, though.

I have a 2002 Dynasty and replaced all the clearance lights last year. They do pop off although it was tough to get a tiny screw driver in the little slot to lift them off.
I was able to order the new covers from Monaco. The ones at truck stops and Camping World were just a little different in size. With Monaco being shut down you may have to track them down elsewhere, but here are the brands.
The lower clearance lights down the side of the coach are Bargman.
The upper lights, both yellow and red, are KII.
Good luck

I just pulled all of the yellow marker lights on my 2005 Safari CHeetah. We are in Florida and had 10 days of solid rain. All of them were half full of water and one was leaking into the underside of the cabinets above the windshield. The silicone was old and they just popped off. Pull upwards from the bottom. I know it is not the best way, but we cleaned them off, siliconed them back on at the top edge and sides and added a bead of silicone between the light mounting surface and the motorhome. After 2 more days of solid rain, no leaks and they do not fill with water.

Good luck

Got the front clearance lense changed, they just fell apart when taking off as the ozone and sunlight did a number on them. I had forgotten that I had ordered some from Monaco over a year ago.

Anyone have an idea where to purchase the KII lense/lights? A google search didn't show anything.

Thanks

Mine had KII stamped on them as well, but they are actually Bargman lights. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell which of the many Bargman lenses yours are. I bought replacements here: mobilemart.com - Bargman, but I had to use a Dremel tool to make them fit.

Thanks, Rex!

Monaco National Parts are the folks who told me that our "KII" lenses were Bargman. No wonder I couldn't find an exact fit!

That's a good catch Rex. I'll keep that bookmarked. When and if my marker lights develop a leak I'll know where to find them.
