Skydeck fog lights help replacement or upgrade!

Hi all- Finally got my skydeck a few weeks ago and my fog lights are broken/cracked. I have the parts book and found the fog light but can’t find them anywhere

511879 fog light clear round


Or any ideas. The back of the fog lights have 1 bolt that hold it in place.

Thanks in advance

Anyone have any ideas? Someone must have done something different? Or am I posting this in the wrong place? Any help. Thanks

Welcome to AirForums & congratulations on your new-to-you Skydeck! I think you may not have gotten (m)any responses is there aren't a lot of Skydecks out there. Cool rig though! Hope you find what your looking for ~

If you're looking to keep the original look, it might be hard, but I remember back then and these are very similar to the common aftermarket ones popular at the time. Looking at Amazon, I see some options with the one bolt attachment. Some are even a bit similar to what you have. https://www.amazon.com/Automotive-Dr...?node=15736441

Thanks-I just don’t want to keep putting holes in fog light area. Was looking for same fog light and I would upgrade the light to led. The setup of the fog light is odd with only 1 bolt going thru to hold it in place. Checked Napa autozone Walmart But might have to cave and put new holes in there. Thanks!

Thanks. Yes I agree. :/. Was thinking someone would have a place or idea for a 1 bolt fog light as it gets recessed into a hole. Kinda a weird design. But that’s airstream for ya I guess. Hahaha. Surprised that there isn’t a cross reference for part numbers either. It’s not that old. Haha. Nice airstream that u have as well! Enjoy

Can't you just fit the existing bracket to any modern spotlight with the same diameter, ie modified the light, not the motorhome?

Well the lense is gone on the original fog light so the bulb/led will be out in elements. When I get to rv tomorrow I will take a picture of bumper where bolt goes into. Might just have to go 3” instead of 4” and then any fog lifer would fit... this fog has 1 bolt and when pulled tight it locks into place. I have fog lights and off-road lights but they mount on bottom and don’t go angle enough for a horizontal insert. All are sorta vertical insert.... hope that makes sense. I might weld something to make it work. Not into drilling a new hole and then weaken that area...
