you sir, are the ****! now i've got a definite make and model. just so happens that that unit is also made by Monaco.

*iceman7329* · 08-12-2005, 12:08 AM

Yes, I know its made by Monaco,its a 2002, Safari, Cheetha. I have a guy at Monaco thats going to call me when he finds out if he can get them for me. If you can get them let me know, cause I want them. Thanks.

*1FaastC10* · 08-12-2005, 12:12 AM

which facility does your Monaco guy work for?

*iceman7329* · 08-12-2005, 12:13 AM

That pic. took me 4 hours to find, looking at used R.V.s, and the clear one will fit right in to the trucks, I have the red ones in my truck. Found them at my R.V. dealer about three months ago and I didnt know they made clear ones till I was looking on this forum.

no, those arent for the Euro look. the Euro look has a trashy looking red lens inside it, these are 100% pure clear, molded just like the red ones.

*iceman7329* · 08-12-2005, 12:16 AM

I dont know, just found a dealer that sales Monaco R.V.s and he gave me a number to call.

86 GMG · 08-12-2005, 08:53 AM

im sorry but i am confused about the posts after iceman posted the RV pic are those the right ones or not simple yes or no please thanks

*iceman7329* · 08-12-2005, 10:22 AM

Those are the ones that will work, but we have to figure out how to get them, Im havinga hard time finding them.

86 GMG · 08-12-2005, 10:54 AM

sweet

86 GMG · 08-12-2005, 11:08 AM

ok i have a part number in hand and the are going to be 30.00 roughly (what the guy said) they dont order much from this company so either i pay freight for them or i wait until they do order from them and get them then from there again i will be a ginni pig on the first pair

SlickSierra77 · 08-12-2005, 01:58 PM

If it works count me in on a pair.

86 GMG · 08-12-2005, 02:18 PM

sure will slick

SlickSierra77 · 08-12-2005, 02:51 PM

So what do you think it will cost with shipping?

86 GMG · 08-12-2005, 04:03 PM

dont know i will tell everyone in this post once i have the answers 86gmg

*1FaastC10* · 08-12-2005, 05:56 PM

if you ordered the ones for the Cheetah, you probably got the wrong ones. we've got a couple Cheetahs in the shop that i didnt know about (something about having a shop big enough to hold 60+ RVs

) the Cheetah lenses will come up slightly short of the opening on a truck, although the mounting holes appear to be the same. they've also got a squared off corner, where ours have a nice curve in the transition from the back of the truck to the side.

*iceman7329* · 08-12-2005, 07:21 PM

Ok, well i know the ones for the Diplomat will fit in the trucks, can we get those in clear?

*iceman7329* · 08-12-2005, 07:55 PM

ok, cool

Slammed '87 · 08-12-2005, 09:17 PM

Heya. This is in response to 86 GMG's private message he sent me and to any others it may help. As far as i know (& most of u already know) they do not make the "old skewl" clear tails anymore. I have looked into it alot and found the reason why they stopped production was because they were illegal. Reason is because they don't have a RED reflector in them. Simple as that. I have been lucky enough to find two sets of these about a year or so ago. One set i bought from a member on this site who found them on ebay (i think) brand new! I paid a high price for em, but i didn't care cause i knew they are hard to come by. The other set i found was on ebay aswell. They were used, but in mint condition. i think i paid around 80 - 100 bux Canadian shipped. I agree that they look way better than the new euro tails. Unfortunately the only way to get a set of the old ones now (that i know of) is keep your eyes open for used ones. i usually check ebay every once in awhile, but haven't seen any lately. i believe APC made them originally?, has anyone thought of trying to contact them directly to see if they might have old unsold ones sitting on a shelf somewhere in a factory? just a thought. neway thats about it. Good luck with your hunting, an if i ever find another set(s) i'll be sure to post it. ... oh yeah, as i said they are illegal, but i have been driving around with them for at least a year with no problems what so ever. As long as you have the required red bulbs in them you should be ok. but that also depends on where you live and how much of jerks the cops wanna be. i have red bulbs in one truck, and red LED's in the other. the LED's are much better, but they won't work on the one '87 for sum reason? i'll post some of the best piks i have of em all now (last 2, sadly aren't my trucks) thanks & cheers!
