Title: Need Porch light for 1986 Cheiftain

Anyone know where I can find a light just like this one?  Mine is in poor repair at the bottom of the inner housing and I want to do something with it. A direct replacement would be the easiest and most efficient fix

Thanks...   Neil

They seem to be readily available in Australia.

AWESOME!!!  Ask and ye shall receive...  That is perfect.  An updated version to LED, got rid of the fiberglass or plastic inside and replaced it with full chrome..  and only $55.00!

Thanks so much...

You could put a diesel in it and make your own bio-fuel out of corn or potatoes etc.

I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!!!

Found one online in Texas, paid $27.90 US and another $29.00 US for shipping and got it to my door inside of 10 days!
Really liking the way this is starting to come together with winter almost over. Just got to get it mounted and a few other projects completed and then its time for some relaxation.
Many thanks for the guidance in finding some of these parts.!!    :)ThmbUp :)

I replaced the lens on mine a while back, and since I switched the bulb out for a super bright LED, I sealed the edges of the lens with clear silicone to keep it water tight.

Middle of nowhere in West central Manitoba.  That was the only shipping option offered so figgered to make the best of it. Had a line on one locally, but they said they could no longer get them in..  Their price was in excess of $50.00 regardless, so this was a close second and they did have them in stock.  Sometimes it doesn't quite seem fair, but there you have it.

From (finally) sunny Oak Lake Manitoba Canada!!!   :)

Ok, That explains it. I would give up cheap (relatively) shipping for that type of isolation. But somewhere warmer.

The story of my life... Day late and a dollar short.

All the sites listed on here are now gone.  Except the ebay auction in Australia.  And, they don't do international shipping....bummer.

I just finished painting the entire motor home and will be doing the strips soon.  But I need to replace the light cover because it is yellowed very bad.

Thank you man.

I clicked the other link above for that website and the page said they were shutting down business.  I am going to try and buy off that link you posted.

Thank you so much.

Edit ~~~~

I just went to the site and made the purchase.  I tried searching but did not really know what to type to locate it on their site.  If you go to www.texmood.com (http://www.texmood.com) the page indicates they are closing up shop. 

But, thank you Rick.  You're a life saver.

That was the link I went to, it says using up stock and not reordering so I checked and there you go. I have been in the restoration business for a long time, you learn to never give up until they throw you out the door. :D
