Overhead Clearance light replacement - '99 Winnebago (HELP!)

Hello all...
I've been reading, and searching until I'm blue in the face.

I've got a '99 Winnebago Chieftain, and I'd like to replace the overhead clearance lights (5 amber in front, and 5 red in rear). They are NOT printed with any manufacturer name (all others, are glo-brite and printed on the lens as such) nor any markings other then DOT.

They are a 2 screw installation, and approx size is a 4 1/2 X 2 3/8".

With only the Winni PDF to go with, which tells me the actual part number from Winni... it's still not much luck to find a replacement.

Here's the parts I found in the PDF:

For the rears;
3 102520-02-000 EA LIGHT - CLEARANCE - W/O SOCKET/HOUSING - RED
3 036196-01-000 EA BULB - 12V - #194 - .27 AMP - BAYONETTE
3 067789-02-000 EA SOCKET - LAMP
3 102540-01-000 EA SEAL - SCREW - ROUND - RUBBER
3 102541-01-000 EA GASKET - CLEARANCE LIGHT
3 102582-01-000 EA BRACKET - LIGHT - CLEARANCE - L-SHAPED METAL - 2.2" X 4.7"

For the fronts;
9 102520-01-000 EA LIGHT - CLEARANCE - W/O SOCKET/HOUSING - AMBER
9 102541-01-000 EA GASKET - CLEARANCE LIGHT
9 036196-01-000 EA BULB - 12V - #194 - .27 AMP - BAYONETTE
9 067789-02-000 EA SOCKET - LAMP

If I do a google search on the "light" part numbers, I get more PDF files and a lack of manufacturer or any other notable information.

HAS ANYONE been able to find a direct replacement (in Incandescent or LED) that fits the coach and doesn't look like an "add on"?? I've read many forums who have claimed to replace them, but the they don't give specifics on EXACTLY which light they used to replace.

I'm eager to replace my leaking, moisture laden clearance lights.

HELP!!!
  • I bought them through Lichtsinn Motors, a Winnebago dealer in Forest City. They weren't very expensive.
  • These might be what you are looking for but I think they don't have a separate ground wire, they ground through the mounting screws which will not work if your RV is fiberglass. I never could find one with a separate ground wire but keep looking, the have to be out there.

  • I found them online. They are made by Grote 46913 is the amber lamp here is a link to it if it works, if not copy and paste and it will take you to a full description: http://www.grote.com/product.php?product_number=46913

    Did not find a part number for the red lens. Hope this helps
  • I just replaced mine and had a hard time finding them. I finally did find them at a rv dealer in Sanford Florida. I am not home or could get you the info. If the link above isnt what you are looking for pm me and will get the info for you this weekend.
  • I believe this is what you are looking for.

  • Have you tried calling Winnebago for them? You'll probably need your VIN #. If they're reasonably priced, buy from Winni. If they're not reasonable, buy one anyway so see what markings are on the packaging when you get it.
