2516G tail light cover above license plate

I backed up a little too far and cracked the tail light cover above the license plate. I want to a replacement that matches, not the generic online. Can anyone point me to a reputable Forest River parts dealer? The model is the Rockwood Premier 2017 2516g. Thanks.

I just replaced the whole light, base and all. Trust me, the ones you order online match OEM, are cheaper, and are better quality

I replaced both tail lights on our 2514g with an LED set.
I found the curve of the mounting surface let water run through the fixture.
Rather than mess with sealing the base to the trailer and then the cover to the base I put on a sturdier light.
I liked them well enough that I moved them to the Roo when we bought it last year.

Underthedog: Do you recall what brand LED light you installed?

light lens

I caught a side marker lens on my Freelander 27QB. Look at the lens and you will find the ID number. Google that number and you will find the exact lens. I personally don't like paying the markup that FR is going to charge.

If you can find the original part numbers you can usually find out who made it. Then it is just a matter of finding a place to buy it.

Lens versus assembly

Do you need just the lens or the complete assembly? I bought just the lens for my marker light. It was an exact match.

Fasteners Unlimited 89-237R Red Replacement Lens for $6.23.

I just went through this a couple of months ago after backing into the garage. You can find extract replacement lenses at etrailer.com https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Optronics/AST61B.html

I wanted to upgrade to LED lights anyways, and these were an exact match to the old ones, just had to wire them up. For the little cost, they are much brighter. Really glad I made the upgrade as I had been thinking of it for a while.
