Consider '03-'05 Hyundai Accent side marker lights. Both front and rear (amber and red respectively of course) are symmetrical, a design not very common for both front and rear. I'm putting these on mine. Of course, my side strip has long been discarded and these side markers are going to be installed on 2" wide 1/8" thick aluminum flat stock instead. Personally, I think the shape of these is far more complementary to the shape of our coaches IF you're no longer using the oem side strip:

They are the same size as original but have a slight curvature to the back side.

Thanks, yes, scavenged from the HF LED tail light kit. Working fine so far. At that time the LED's that plugged into the factory socket weren't very bright. Much better ones are now available.

is a some pics of the 90's jeep wagoneer marker lights
They do have a slight curve to them about 1/8 inch but a little rubber seal and they sure look good.
They are 1/4" shorter so I'll put a filler in one side.
Someday!

Does not need to be an exact replacement

From Walmart I got an LED marker and separate reflector. They fit OK in early style side trim.

Reflector and light were both on Walmart's store rack. Fairly certain these were them except I don't see the reflector on Walmart's web
