Red Marker Lights

I'm missing the two rear-side (bottom) red marker lights and housings on a 73 tradewind. If they are like the front amber housings, they are angled. Anyone know where I might find them. Thanks!

They have the red reflector inserts I think would fit but I didn't see the housing they fit into. I've used Vintage a few times already and they have a quick turnaround. Thanks! I'll keep looking.

Those castings have not been available for years, not even from an Airstream dealer, let alone a non-Airsdtream dealer.

All you can use is the regular clearance lights like you have on the rest of the trailer.

Dale, since you live in Florida, there is an RV salvage yard just North of Gainesville, called Bob's. They have several old Airstreams there, and may have those cast pot metal housings. You will, however, have to drive up there to get them, as they don't do mail-order.
