Clearance lights on front of 2300

I keep losing the clearance light lens covers from the front of my 2012 Sunseeker 2300. I've lost 3 already. I found a dealer in NH who ordered me the 3 replacements, but I had to buy the whole light assembly.

Does anyone know of a direct source where I could purchase these covers? It appears to be an ongoing problem.

Thanks.

They are oval. I'm at work now. I'll take pics when I get home unless I can find some I already have.

Clean them real good and put a small bead of clear silicone all around the lenses.

X2- no point in just losing them and buying new ones until you determine the reason they are coming off.

Thanks, but I'd like to have some spares on hand for when they fall off during a long trip. None of the ones I have replaced have fallen off so they were probably just not installed as well as they should have been.

If you run the bead of silicone around the lenses, you don't have to worry about them falling off. THEY WON'T!

Check Lewis-RV (Dayton, OH), they show two parts catalogs with clearance lights. Without climbing up and removing one of mine, I can't tell if they have an exact match.

while you are at it, change the bulbs to LEDs, and put the bead of silicone. The bulbs won't burn out and the lenses won't fall off

I concur with ChooChoo. Last fall, evidently water had gotten into one of the lights and when it froze, it popped off. Luckily the unit was parked and I found it on the ground. The dealer sealed them all with silicone, no problem since.
