We seem to have broken the driver side driving light on our '05 Monterey (prob a rock). Does anyone with a similar coach know where to acquire one of these? TIA

Jeff, this topic has surfaced regularly, but you may glean a fair amount of insight via this thread from 2010:
http://beaveramb.org/forum/index.php/topic,647.msg3682.html#msg3682 .
Adapting a bracket to fit may be necessary, as discussed in the thread. Searching the Forum for both "driving lights" and then "fog lights" will provide similar thoughts.
Several years down the road now, possibly the Pilot PL-195C on Amazon may be appropriate, but you'll have to double check the dimensions and full specifications to be certain.

I will second the suitability of the Pilot PL-195C units. They are readily available and were a nearly direct replacement for a broken unit on my coach, an '05 Monterey Bayview IV. The units match but the electrical connector needed to be reworked to suit the existing coach connector. That is a small amount of work and is easily done.

Neal:
To keep from inventing the wheel over again did you use 4 of the 195C's, were they the 4.5 or 4 inch round.? How did you wire them up? One for low beam and daytime use and two for high beams.
Thanks Joe

These are driving lights. No HB/LB. Most coaches only have 2 )I believe)

My misunderstanding
I took it as replacing the headlight assemble. Which is what I would like to update.
Thanks for straightening me out

Joe, if you are replacing your headlights for aesthetic reasons that's one thing, but to update them due to their being too dim you should go to the Private Members Only section here and scroll down to the Headlight Fix instruction and video link. There are two guidings shown. The original by Roy Mueller and Bill Sprague for Magnum chassis should work for your coach: http://beaveramb.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Beaver-Dim-Headlight-Fix.pdf
but you should review Steve Huber's version to confirm your coach isn't multiplexed.

We have upgraded to HIDs with with a 1/8" thick polycarbonate removable cover. O'Reilly's had the 6" round pair on sale for $65. Just 2 wires +and-. Small modification to mount. They do stick out from the 41/2" opening. They do compliment the head lamp brightness at night.
