White front marker lights

[Plasa]

Hello forum.
I want to re-use the original marker lights on my M1078, but in Europe the front marker lights need to be white and not amber. Does anyone know if the glass exist also in white, and if so where can be buyed?

Thanks and regards from Italy

You speaking of the lights on top of cab etc? Think they are a standard commercial truck light and not anything military specific. Thus look around at commercial trucks of similar era in your area and see if you get a glimpse of the same frame with white plastic. Once you know the truck then you should be able to search from there.

UPDATE- Was curious myself so did a net search. Ended up discovering the term ( armored marker light) brought up the best results. Try that (in italian?) and see what you come up with

if all else fails.... find you a friendly 3d printing junky? There is 3d printing filaments that are opaque. Maybe they could print you an opaque lens and just use a clear bulb after that. IFFF it can handle the heat.... Might update to LED if that is a concern

Hello
Thank you for your answer. Yes, tried to find something, I also find the original manufacturer of the lights. But they produce it only in amber and red... Problem is the armored version, it' not easy to find...

Thank you and have a nice day!
