Goldeneagle Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 I need the source for a replacement lol good answer though. Mine is cracked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill R Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I had tried to source it a few months ago because it wasn't working and I never could find a replacement anywhere. Even using the DOT number. I stopped looking because I was able to get it working again. This is a great forum so I am sure someone has the answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Hutto Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I’m not sure if it’s the same as a 2006 Diplomat, but here’s one I found that fit exactly on my coach.

Frank Bergamo Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 This place has them but not an exact match. They fit over the inset, not in it.https://www.spoilerlights.com/spoilerlights/beaver-marquis-third-brake-light-type-sl-84013/ Hope this helps.

The brake light is 18 inches long approximately and can’t seem to find it anywhere thanks Nathan Hi Nathan, I believe that your 3rd light is the same as on my 2006 Monaco Dynasty. I have been trying for a year now with no luck. The light that Frank mentioned from www.spoilerlights.com is about 3/8" to long and about 1/2" to tall. The mounting holes have the correct distance between them. I will attach some pictures I took comparing the lights and how it didn't fit. The folks at spoilerlights were great. He sent me his light freight free and took it back when it didn't work. I am sure he has a lot of people wanting a replacement for our light and was hoping I could find a way to make it work. Sorry I don't have an solution as of yet, but would love to fine one. Best, John Edited February 2, 2023 by Marine Boy add picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce S Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The third brake light on both of our Signatures were Ford products. You might find help in that direction. Sometimes there is printing on the glass itself which will give you a hint. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lake49068 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Just looked at Veurinks (Grand Rapids, MI) parts website and they list a center brake light but no dimensions. Give them a call to check fit... Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to find one that may be a little shorter that is still only 3/4" tall and will still fit in the recess. So if anyone has seen one that is only 3/4" tall, please let me know. And/or one that is 3/4" tall and 9" long so I could fit two side by side. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyronTruex Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 AT-LED-28SMT A search for this will show lots of options. Even Amazon has a ton of them. I have replaced mine a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a number of Monaco & HR coaches the 3rd brake light mounts in a recess that is just over 3/4" tall, so any light much taller than 3/4" will not fit in the recess. I have had no luck finding a light like this on Amazon or other places, but I am still hopeful I will find one. Please keep sending ideas!

bgfleck Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 We have an '07 Signature., that has the same light. I have looked everywhere for that brake light. Like you said the one from spoiler lights is to long. I ordered it and found out the hard way. The schematic on their website was actually wrong, and have since changed it. Good luck in your search. If you find one please post where you found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbo777 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I got that light for our 2007 Nav from Alliance some time ago, although it is now Lazy Days. Maybe try them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyronTruex Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 With some careful dissasembly you may be able to refill the light with a led strip light. Another led strip that comes to mind is the third brake light I see on pickups sometimes. I put one one a small utility trailer. They would be easy enough to trim down I suspect. I will do some research on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do some research on that. Hi Myron, Yes, my next option is to disassemble the old light and install a new LED strip. Since this is the original light, the red plastic lens is only in fair condition and I was hoping to have a backup before I do a disassembly, with the risk of breakage. I would be willing to trim down a light, but as I have said previously much taller than 3/4" and it won't fit in the recess. Keep the ideas coming.

MyronTruex Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 As I recall, my strip led brake light on the little utility trailer was about 1/2 of an inch wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Mike Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Would it be possible to make something like this work? It’s .6 inches tall so it’s just under 3/4 and I think you can cut these to the length you want. The only problem is the wires coming out of the one end but might be able to make it work. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165368929710?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ee_zZfOyRZ-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=odM01NFXQDC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, John Can’t you fabricate something to sit in the recess and attach a light assembly to that? Edited February 4, 2023 by hitechpete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldeneagle Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 This is the point I’m at right now is fabricating something to go into that space out of aluminum on the CNC machine and then I’ll be able to put a third brake light on top of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to not have the light sticking out. If you make a spacer, you may want to check the mounting surface. Mine has a minor radius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
