I've been meaning to ask. I have no puddle lights on my mirrors. But I do
have light on my steps. Four per side. One on top one on the bottom on
each end.
Are these stock?
 
I don't think the lights are stock.

  Well dose anyone have an idea on these. I have a bulb out they're 194s.
Everything rusted had to drill bolts out. The lenses is stripped out where the bolts sits.

  Taking them all apart replace with stainless and anti-seize on bracket bolts. First need to see if
I can find lights that will fit.
  Hopefully LEDs



 
I may be wrong since i never owned a cladded AV but from what i have seen over the years those boards look to be some aftermarket product.
I would get a bright light and look all over top and bottom for any kind of manufacturers info and contact them for a parts replacement.
Otherwise you might check a "trailer supply" kind of store for a light that would fit the location.
Good luck in your search for a fix.

Doing a little google search for lighted running boards looks like these may be your brand of boards but not sure:

    Vaeagleav Thanks. 

    Doing the lights haven't found any markings.  :E: I remembered this morning that
there is a store called NWRunning Boards not far from me. Off to check it out.

    One more question there is a cut on the underside in the plastic. Anyone have any suggestions.
On how to maybe keep it from running any further. 
 
 
      Thanks to Vaeagleav I was going bat shi@ crazy. Until I put molded in the search. Bam.
You ever out this way I owe you one.  :notworthy:


      Have to give a big shout out to NW Running Boards.
They told me that they could only get the whole end cap
with the fixture in it. He gave me two lights and an extra lenses.

  So I sent Onki an email with pics to see. Going to clean and seal the lenses as I go.
Purchased all the stainless hardware. With some LEDs. So wish me luck.

                                You got to  :love: this site.
 
  Have to give another shout out. Emailed Onki late Thursday night.
did not expect a reply until sometime next week When I checked my email
Friday morning they had hit me back.

They do not sell to individuals. Gave me a link and name to order from. One
of their local dealers. Sent email waiting to hear. 
 
Well got my new lights I ordered all eight.
Decided to try the 194 LEDs from O'reilly?s.
What a difference the new lights with LEDs from the old yellow ones.
