    Post 18 303rls Marker Lens replacement and/or LED marker light swap-out

    We have a 2018 303 rls and one of the amber marker light lens is now missing. I can't find a replacement for it, does anyone know where I can get it? Also, has anyone replaced the lights for LED marker lights, and if so, where did you get the right size lights with a black base? TYIA!

    Paul&Rhonda--noted this is your first post so welcome to the forum.

    Near the top right of this page is a white rectangular box. Type in the words "tail light" and then click the small magnifying glass icon. You'll see multiple threads related to your question with a lot of detailed information in the posts.

    Also--if you're not aware, there's a website for GD parts lookup: https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...y/parts-lookup

    Once you find what you're looking for you can always order it from your dealer or order it online. Here's a thread that may help: https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...ful-Dealership

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks much! Already went to the brake light replacement area, and have purchased them. Again, thanks!

    I just washed and waxed my 303 and noticed water and gunk inside the side marker lenses. These are really easy to snap off and feel loose to me after I cleaned and replaced them. Thinking about using some silicone on top to hold them in place. Much prefer the lenses you screw on than these, surely they will fall off when on the road.

    I replaced all of my marker lights for less than $34 with LED equivalents. They are brighter, and the lens covers fit tighter. The lights were a direct fit for the old ones. Just removed two screws, clip the wires to the old ones. connect the new wires and re-screw in.

    I just purchased the set of LED marker lights referenced by Jim. To the question asked by @Paul&Rhonda in post 1 . . . these new lights have white bases. It looks simple enough to mask off the LED strip and spray paint the bases black, before installation. (at least . . . this is my plan)

    Rob - I was a little concerned that the white bases wouldn't look good with my rig. But there is enough white on the decals and front cap that they look just fine.

    Think I will just try the silicone route for this trip and see how they hold up. Not wanting to get involved with a full replacement as lights work, just covers/base are crap design. But next winter when I am stationary for a few months, will replace with those.

    Hi Beachcamper . . . if there is water inside the light lens, this water has likely followed the mounting screws into the luan ply structure. See the picture attached to post 1 of this thread on tail light replacement. https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...988#post216988

    Back lights seem fine, no water just the side marker lights. You suggest unscrewing all plates and silicone to mounting screws?
