If you look in QT's # 3 there are links for all lighting in a Newmar look down about 1/2 way.
The light lens would have a number but your same year coach maybe in one of the thread links.

They do need a "little" mod. You take the old rim(black plastic) cover off and trace it over the new lite cover and trace it an use a small cutting tool and trim it. Not a big deal. It is as easy replacement. As they say a plug and play with the wires. I have to look up the web site and sent that. Price was something like $230.

Sorry getting back this late. I am in fl for the winter and looking In the motorhome trying to find the paper work. Well nothing yet but try www.nutrend.com Projector halo lite. 1992-96 f-150 or ford Branco. Also you can pick up some info on installing on you tube. Intact I replaced my plastic tank with a metal one for my radiator expansion tank and used you tube as well. You tube is a good friend. Hope all this helps

Something that gave me problems on my coach that may be worth looking into on Freightliner chassis Dutch Stars of this vintage.
Freightliner wiring harness, has a flat wiring multi connector for each of the headlights, Newmar took the wiring from each connector and spliced the high and low beam feeds together and ran them through a round multi connector then separated the wires to feed the left and right lighting; all within 2 feet of wiring. I'd post pictures of the wiring I removed ,but that part is in my garage at home.
The problem with this wiring is that when they spliced the wires they didn't increase the size of the wire, so the 2 head lights are on a wire sized for one light for that 2 feet of wiring, AND, the F/L headlight relay system is set up that each headlight has it's own relay; wired up so that when the relay is active high beams are on, relay inactive low beams are on. When one of the relays stuck on, that relay fed both high beams, when I switched to low beam the other relay powered both low beams, so all four bulb filaments were on and overloaded the head light switch internal circuit breaker, causing the lights to flash on/off. Not a fun situation I-5 in the rain after dark.
