Most of those fixtures are indeed Thin-Lite they seem to be the standard.
the 12 volt "Ballast" is really an inverter and messes up some of my radios by the way
I removed teh electronics (The "Ballast/inverter") and sockets and used peal and stick LED strips. about 5 meters of LED per fixture.. Cut to length and then spliced with jumper wire.. Lots more light. Lots less current.. Very happy. about 8 bucks a fixture plus a hour or so of cutting and soldering
But that won't fix cracked covers.
