I'm not sure what the dimensions are on your lights but here is where I went for my replacements on a 2018 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 36U. This was from an earlier post.

I have a 2018 Fleetwood Pace Arrow and replaced all of my lights with LEDs. I was told that the lenses were not sold seperately so I converted to LEDs. Here is the information from Kaper II:
"We do not have lenses only for the lights you are inquiring about, you must buy the whole unit. All three incandescent lamps are $12.13 plus shipping. Honestly for the price I would upgrade to LED. The pricing for the LED versions are as follows:

$16.70 - L15-0097AI (LED version of L03-0026 - LED has a clear lens amber diodes Park Turn , there is not an amber lens model ONLY amber diode with clear lens, passes all the same FMVSS regulations as amber lens)
$14.37 – L15-0098 (LED version of L03-0027 - LED is a red lens red Stop Turn Tail)
$13.36 – L15-0099 (LED version of L03-0028 - LED is a clear lens white diode back up light).

You can call customer service to order either version at 360.423.4404, anyone who answers can help you place an order. 360.423.4404. We are open Monday through Friday 8am to 4pm Pacific Time.

Thank you for using our website to reach out.

I have found many original parts for my 2009 Fleetwood Bounder by calling Revparts 800 322-8216. Have your vin handy when you call. Good Luck.

Those are the somewhat generic lights like seen on some commercial busses? Volvo buses have them I believe.

Google image searches for something like "Volvo bus tail light" finds some.

Thanks - the issue is they are losing their color. The toothpase shines them up but doesnt restore the color. But thanks

Same issue here. Found very expensive NOS @ REV Parts but opted to “try” refinishing, first.

VHT Nite Shades, translucent red & Krylon Stained Glass, tangerine orange. The clear lenses were still in very acceptable condition.

Thoroughly wash, lightly, evenly scuff w/#0000 steel wool & wash again to remove residue.

2 light coats of color, followed by 1 coat of clear.

Very pleased w/the appearance & still holding up well, after 3 years.

Good luck!

Yup, those are the bus ones I mentioned. MCI, Neoplan, Volvo, Bluebird and others have used them. I think Hella was the original manufacturer of that style, but there are many places make them now. Pays to search around, prices are all over the map.

Here's a long thread about them, has some part numbers too.
