'99 American Dream Headlights??

Does anyone know what the headlights/parklights came from on the '99? They are from a Cadillac but don't know which. I would like to source just to have spare ones.

Check the number on the headlight lens, the numbers will be different by one digit indicating left and right. Once you have the number search it and it will give you the year and make. Try ebay for a search then you know your answer and you can purchase them where ever you choose. Good luck.

What I forgot to mention is that most headlights come with a backing plate for the car they were made for, in most cases of motorhomes the new backing plate on the new headlights has to be removed and the one from your old lights put on in place. So don't throw away your old headlights until you are sure all is well. Good luck.

Yes I found the numbers on the headlights and park lights.......As you said one last digit is different. I have not been able to find/Google anything though so far.

Also try a Google search on the part number also, I found the OEM manufacturer on mine that way. Fleetwood wanted $120, I paid $40 to the original manufacturer.

Try going into ebay motors search parts, then list headlights, then list your number.

Rock Auto, our headlights are from a 99 deville for our 99 deville . Sorry but we did find them @ Rock Auto and they were 100 bucks compared to 3-400 bucks at a caddie dealership. we have used them for over a year now and there isn't much we haven't found that they don't Carrie. They are really easy on returns or special parts, great customer service.
Our MH is so old that it just uses 4 headlamps. Can't hurt to look.

It's a heck of a lot easier to call American Coach Customer Service and ask them.
