98 Eagle Front Marker Lights
My yellow front marker lights have seen better days. I was on the roof today and noticed that there was moisture inside of two of them. After removal and inspection; it is evident that they are cracking from sun exposure. I went to the local truck supplier and was told that they are an old model that they do not stock.
Does anyone know where to purchase the original lenses for the markers? or what they replace them with? Surely someone out there ran into the same troubles. This forum seems to have reoccurring problems and resolutions.
Thanks in advance

Yep, been there. I want to replace them all with LED but this got me out of a bind.

Mackwrench; Thanks. That is the one. Yes I also want to go LED, but cannot locate a #67 LED bulb replacement.

The #67 socket size is same as a #1156. I used these to replace the #67 bulbs on side porch light...I'm sure they would work for the cab marker as well.

Wonder if something like this would actually fit - would sure be less likely to leak

These folks stock the lens and the complete light assembly.
I do not think you want to change styles at this point.

Just give them the SAE # on the lens and specify the color.
It might take a phone call, but their counter folks are excellent.
They also have the red lens for the rear marker lights.

I was thinking more about the footprint.
Those clearance lights look fine on a Kenworth, but maybe not so much on a fine vintage Eagle, Dream or Tradition.
Fortunately Airstream still uses these teardrop clearance lights on their products and has for many years.
This should keep aftermarket availability alive and well!

Well after much thought into replacing or renewing. I have decided to the replace with the same. I was able to locate what I required at the Advanced Auto parts across the border in Lewiston NY. For under $20 US I was able to buy exact Grote amber lenses (91683). I decided to keep the old vintage look of the coach. I will look later to upgrade those lights to LED. Thanks to all that responded.
