Rear Marker Lights - whatsnewell - 05-29-2014

A while back I mentioned I was looking for replacement red marker lights for my '82 Newell. I can find the amber ones that go on the front cap, but the red ones are no longer available. My good friend Todd Flickema, found some NOS on eBay and I bought 5 and had them shipped to Todd's home in Sioux Falls. I fuilly intended to install them while we were in Sioux Falls, but the weather was not compatible with standing on a tall ladder for a couple of hours to do the job, so i deferred that job until today. I completely removed the old light fixtures and installed the new ones....took just about 2 hours start to finish. I used marine grade clear silicone caulk to seal the bases.

I know I could probably have found some newer marker lights (front and back) that are still in production, and in stock somewhere, but I really prefer to keep the outside of the Newell as close to original appearance as possible. Special thanks to Todd for finding these lights and enabling me to continue to achieve that goal.

I replaced the Lenses on ours a short time ago.
Not sure if these are then or not;

By the way, for anyone else with a classic that has the same type of rear cap red marker lights you can get a complete set (lens + base) of 5 red ones for $29 on eBay. There are still 9 sets of 5 lights each available at $29.50. Click here to see the eBay listing.

Clarke and Steve,

That same sight also carries the complete assembly:

SLC is the authorized distributor for ATC Lighting & Plastics/KD Lamp Company who originally sold them.

Bought a set of the complete ones from the eBay seller, and 5 additional lens from SLC lighting.
