Are you referring to clearance lights, head lights or auxiliary/driving lights?

If clearance lights, there will be a PN on the lens that will allow you to search your options.

Are they Hella? Can you run them with just the clearance lights on, or do your mains need to be on?  We found, after years driving in fog areas, that a clear on curbside and yellow on roadside worked best. They must be aimed, and that's where the roof spot is very handy!

I'm still not sure what lights you are referring to.  The aux light are what I call fog lights, but they are white.
Maybe you mean the clearance lights? (sometimes called marker lights) 
If so here's an old thread on the subject: Replacing marker lights

Like Brett said:  PN printed on the lens.  We cross referenced the lights with NAPA and replaced the front Clearance lights with LEDs.  Not difficult.

Regarding the old posting of John Fritz on his comment about the light not sitting around the curve of the GV, all you have to do is grind/file the centre part to suit the body shape. These lights have a base which is actually just a thin wall support so you can shape to suit then caulk the top edge and sides. Leave the lower edge alone just in case water does get behind.
