I replaced the back up light on left side last year. Over 300.00.
You cannot buy just the lens from factory.
Who makes them and who sells them?
I've spent a lot of time over the months and longer perusing the Internet with no success.

Look for the DOT number or other numbers on the lens. Google searching on them may be helpful in determining what else they're used on. The headlight assemblies on our 2001 coach for example, were used on the 91-96 Chevy Caprice, and the tail lights were used on 73-91 Chevy or GMC pickups. I found that out from the numbers on the lenses.

In 2004, my 1994 Bounder tail light assembly had rusted out and was beyond repair. Only light that worked was the brake light. I'd spent several leisurely months driving around the countryside after buying that RV and occasionally I'd stop in at small out of the way RV dealers looking for a replacement. Well, one day, I stopped at a 'boat shop' of all places in Milton-Freewater Oregon. And darn if they didn't have the entire backup, running, brake light assembly, for my RV! Cost me $25.

The point is, there's almost always a replacement out there somewhere. And if you're able to limp along with what you have, searching out of the way places for RV parts is not only fun, it's sometimes rewarding.

What year and model of Revolution? The lights change from year to year and model to model - whatever they can get cheap (for them anyways).

On my 2005 Fleetwood 39S Excursion, they're off a Chevy pick-up truck.

Had the same problem with a front turn light. Had to buy one from Fleetwood to identify it. If I need another, they were kind enough to ship it in the mfg's box with part numbers and all on it.........

They are from the Hella catalog. They're kinda common on European coach buses, but also found their way into other RVs including my former Weekend Warrior (mine used the reds only).

Try ebay over an over. Keep looking! There is a replacement out there. If not you may be able to get one custom made ($).

Glad to see someone here mentioning DOT APPROVED...

Just keep in mind that any of these safety lights used on US Highways must be DOT approved... There should be a DOT number engraved into the lens.

Some of these lights you may find on the various search sites may not be DOT approved...

Some of us find out the hard way and when it comes inspection time you may have to remove your $300 light assembly to be able to pass your safety inspection... ouch....

I am a Safety Inspector in Texas. You do NOT look at the DOT or design/build of headlamps and Tail/clearance lamps when Inspecting. Unless it is OBVIOUS one of the lights is NOT part of the rest. Doug

Most new coaches are using more unique headlight ( projectors) and twilight assy but in the past they pulled headlights and taillight assembly's from late model cars and trucks. As said the dot number can give a clue to what that is. For a 2000 coach that might be a 98 car or truck. My headlight was 300 bucks via RV dealer eBay got me the same light for 50. Made in China but when I compared them they were identical .. same manufacturer. Just a 250 profit to the RV dealer.
What year is your rev? Perhaps if you gave that info someone might know and be of more help

These?



Here's a thread from a few years back with some info.
