HEADLIGHTS for NEWMAR Mountainaire 2003 gas

I am looking at the headlights of my new to me MH which is a Newmar Mountain Air 2003 35ft gas engine and they are yellow and one is loose so want new ones. So does anyone know what headlights they put in this unit? I am to understand that they often use car headlights so am wondering what car headlight they use? IF not, can I just put in any headlight and just make a cover for it to fill the gap?

    There should be some letters and numbers at the bottom center of the headlight lens that should identify the model/year of vehicle that the manufacturer used.

    Mine are TYC 20-5174. This crosses to a 2000 Cadillac Deville Driver Side Headlight Assembly. The other one is TYC 20-5173, which is the passenger side assembly. Each are about $86 on Amazon, but I can probably find them cheaper if I look around more.

    I'm thinking about replacing my headlights, but I've still got a little bit of cleaner let in the bottle, so I'll scrub them again and get another 3-4 months out of them.


    we did the same thing - found the numbers on the old lights and searched for them on Amazon. Found them there at a great price and just replaced them ourselves. Hardest part was reaiming the lights after installation.

  • Tderonne- YES like that!! So now will go to junk yards and see what I can find for headlights. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
  • THANKS, thought maybe someone would know which headlights they used but will call Newmar if necessary, they are very nice and helpful.
  • Call Newmar and give them your Vin number and they probably can tell you what they used.
  • don't know where to get new ones but you might google rv salvage yards to see if they have any good ones
