Title: Bargman Red Clearance Lights
Post by: Andy Clark on October 09, 2013, 01:29:14 AM: As many of you may have discovered, the rectangular Bargman red clearance lights (P/N 34-68-510) are no longer available. These are used on the older Beavers. You can still get the amber ones at places like CW, but the reds are gone forever.

I have about 6 extra brand new ones that I would be willing to sell. Drop me a PM if interested.

If you go to their website: http://www.bargman.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=3&parentid=8400&catID=8420&part=42-59-410

you can plug in your zip code and get the nearest dealer's information.

I thought all Beavers had the 59s.

They have a good selection of Bargman clearance lights and lenses.
I found both red and amber that matched the lenses on our 2004 Monterey.

Post by: Andy Clark on October 11, 2013, 12:22:04 AM: Just so it's clear- the discontinued clearance lights are Bargman 68 series Red as used on Patriots from the 1990s (and maybe early 2000s).

Darrel, RV Parts Outlet does not have this series of lights. I was trying to help anyone who needed to replace lights with cracked lenses. If they aren't cracked now, they will be.

Sorry for confusing everyone. I forgot to mention that the price for these lights is the cost of shipping them.

Post by: Steven Hoffman on February 23, 2014, 03:36:40 PM: I contacted Bargman (original supplier ) and the 68 Series lights both Red and Amber are discontinued. Bargman does not have a direct fit replacement. Optronics lists their MC48 Series as a replacement for the Bargman 68 Series. Malcolm do you know the Napa part number and which supplier ?

Now if there was just an LED version available.

The Ryder Fleet Products P/N U13 18300Y (amber) and U13 18300R (red) ( Truck-Lite 18300R/Y ) are about 5/8" wider and the screw mounting hole spacing is also 5/8" wider. Did you have any problems installing these?

If these fit then an LED version is available Truck-Lite 18050R/Y.

Post by: Karl Welhart on February 24, 2014, 05:13:50 PM: These lenses fit perfectly as replacements to my original lenses. Perhaps yours are a little different. The fitment of these lenses into the recessed area is very important. I would make sure there is enough room to install and not have any gap when mounted with the gasket.
