Porch light lens

Lens for thin lite porch light. I was taking the amber lens off so that I could repair the porch light. It cracked lengthwise about centered. I thought I will just order a new lens. The first place canceled my order the same day. I ordered from a different company and after one day they also canceled. I thought I will call thin lite. I was informed that the company had closed in 2022, so looks like not available. I did see one lens on EBay for 99 dollars. Any one have any suggestions?

I'd buy a handful of cheap ones before I shelled out a Benjamin for a lense. Not much to lose trying one of these guys out: Amazon.com: Lumitronics RV 12V LED Exterior Porch Utility Light - Clear &...

I don't know if my coach uses the same porch light, but I bought a lens from Foretravel earlier this year. The parts guy wasn't sure if he had one, but he told me to wait while he looked around upstairs. He came back and said he had one.

Those are the correct lenses, but seems like no longer available. I have tried every site that I could find and nobody has them now.

You might want to try the LED options on Amazon (you can buy orange LED and a clear lens) or if you are wanting to stay with original gear you could also try the RV wrecker places, and see if they have some. You might have to buy the whole light assembly but that's not entirely a bad idea.
