Lighting diffusers

As regular readers probably know, I'm the proud new owner of Jim and Tere's Old Blue. They sold me an awesome coach with just about everything "done."

One little project they left for me is updating to LED lighting. I want to keep the look and feel of a 1985 Regal so I won't be updating the fixtures to something that doesn't look right. I'm just replacing bulbs in the existing fixtures.

But the plastic diffusers are 29 years old -- brittle and ready to fall apart. They are 12" long, 4.5" wide, and about 0.75" deep, with angular corners, not rounded. They enclose 3 standard incandescent bulbs, the usual BA15S which I am upgrading to LED.

Anyway, if anyone has a source for these diffusers, please advise. I couldn't find a manufacturer's name on the fixtures, short of taking one apart.

Thanks, Tom, but it's the light fixture covers, the lenses, or what the industry calls diffusers, that's what I'm looking for. (I've got the LED bulbs under control.)

Yes, like those but ones that fit my lights, 12" long, 4.5" wide, and about 0.75" deep, with angular corners, not rounded like the newer ones.
