We have a broken lens on one of our fog lamps. Turns out these are not so easy to find. The ones on our coach are about 3 inches high and 7 inches wide. Most of the driving or fog lamps I have found are not that large or are rectangular and do not have the semi-rectangular shape we need. Yes I will consider replacing both sides so they will match but would like to find something near the same size. Has anyone had luck finding a near replacement?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob, there appears to be a symbol or name in the lower left corner, and an SAE number on the right. Please look at these and let me know what they are. That may help locate the maker.

Bob,
I just ordered the Hella FF75 lights yesterday from Streetside auto. They are an oval shaped light, but may fit your opening. I ordered them based on a recommendation from Diplomat Don a while back, and looks like your Diplomat is the same vintage as his. They are supposed to be a great mod for better overall night time visibility. There are two types of FF75. The Fog light, and driving light. They look the same but different performance. I picked the driving light as my original lights are pretty week. They have a pretty good review online. I ordered the kit which includes the mounting hardware and 2 lights with bulbs. Total delivered price was 88.49 using a $5 dollar discount code. The best price I have seen by far. Use code CQ4115 if you decide to order from there.

Thanks for that info crah. If Don used them then they must be close.

Rex,
On the lower left is HDI inside an oval. On the lower right is SAE F 03.
Thanks for looking,
Bob

I had a 06 Endeavor and replaced my lights with Hella, East install and soooooooooo much more light. Think I went with driving lights rather than fog light. Made huge improvement with night driving. Didnt repalce any relays just the lights.

Googling combinations of the numbers and letters on light assemblies is a good place to start. I tried "hdi fog light" and maybe the fourth light down on the page linked below - the HDI 8" Oval Fog Lights - is your unit??? Or certainly puts you in the right direction.
Rex might be able to cross the SAE numbers for you as well...
