The part number of the light assembly is on the light assembly itself. If you want the OEM just put the part number in a google search. Amazon has always had the replacement light I was looking for. I then, with that part manufacture and number, do a LED replacement for search.

I just replace my tail lights with the same ones taylorbob1 did. It is a fairly easy thing to do. Just make sure you check your fuses. I did not and it took me longer to install only because I didn't noticed that I had 4 blown fuses. The lights look great!

Thank you! We bought them but now we can't figure out the wiring what did you use to follow what wires go where?

On the back of the OEM tail light assembly, it tells you what the color wire do. From the RV, the WHITE wires are ground wires, the BLACK wires are for the tail light, the GREEN wires are turn signal and break lights.

On my LED lights, the BLUE is the back up light. WHITE is GROUND, BLACK & GREEN are tied together because they are your running and turn signal lights, YELLOW & BROWN are also tied together because they are also running and turn signals.

You may want to consider just replacing the old bulbs, we LED bulbs, much brighter, and cheaper than the entire assembly.

Good luck.

The reason I replaced them was because the bulbs had corrosion on them due to them getting wet due to the bad OEM seal.

Looking at the old wiring, it hard to tell, but do you have one color wire going to all 3 locations? That would be your ground wire. On the bottom pic, the white wire is the ground wire.

A simple 12 VDC power supply (battery) should help you figure that out and confirm what Amazon tells you:
