I bought a bunch at a NAPA auto parts store on a long trip.  It seemed to fit perfectly, but I bought a bunch to make sure that the replacement stayed on.  Yours fell off because you only bought one.  Wink

Yeah, I don't think I've ever been able to replace just the lens.  For me anyway, it's just too easy to walk in to any Walmart and get a whole new light.  Tracking down the exact right lens seems like way too much effort.  I have had slightly different lights on one fender and the other, but what do you have to do to see both fenders at the same time, and who really cares anyway.  And of course you can just replace both sides at the same time....

If it isn't a tight fit replace the whole unit.  Only 2 screws, pull it out, undo the wire nuts, replace with your new one, shouldn't take more than 5 - 10 minutes.

Well, I had to buy the whole light, but the lens fits the original light pretty well, so I'll see how it holds up.

Worst case scenerio is if they cannot match a lens and you opt not to order the above part number you can get the whole unit (base, lens, and wiring) that would match for about $ 5 - $8.

I found some online. Thanks! Before order, I'll go by my local RV store to see if they can get it! I didn't see the number and we had trouble matching the broken pieces.

Thanks Chasl,  Over the years on this forum I have been on the receiving more than the giving end.  Glad to be able to assist others when possible.

The book describes this as a waterproof LED 4" x 2" marker light.  The red replacement lens is # 681-DG52717VP.  The amber replacement lens is # 681-DG5 2716VP.  They are $ 3.49 each.  This is from the 2021 RV parts and accessories catalogue.  A local RV store or internet search should easily be able to get this.
