I am looking for a replacement docking lamp, a Bosch 1 305 354 911 light.
One of mine has a small crack in the glass housing, although it works fine.
Google has turned up a few links, but none that led to a supplier.
Any ideas?

Paul,
You might try International Bus Parts. This guy sent me a catalog on DVD (which is at my office). I will check it in the morning if you like.

Paul,
I had the same problem you did trying to source Bosch stuff on the internet. It's like it doesn't exist. I did find a source for a busted fog light last night, but that is the only commercial site I have found that you can actually buy parts.

I had to replace a docking light on Psgr side rear due to an "Ouch". Anyway looked and looked finally wound up finding one at TSC and a small modification and it matches and looks just fine.
Paul, I replaced my passenger side docking light last year while in Indio, CA.
I looked numerous places like auto parts stores, NONE had one, but finally found it at the Marathon facility. I don't have the p.n. with me but will be in the bus tomorrow if you still need it?
Also interesting enough, I bought two (2) and one of them was bad out of the box. Marathon Ft. Worth changed it out for me, for my spare.

Thanks for all the reply's. It sure helps to at least have some direction.
I'll keep searchin'.....
Checked out the Rock Auto on-line catalog and ordered up the lens.
After taking another look at mine, I guess that "lens" does describe it best, as the bulb is inserted behind it.
It should be noted, however, that I have absolutely no intention of ever having to actually use the docking light in question, as our goal is to be settled into where ever we're gonna be long before cocktail hour
Thanks again for all the help.....
I'm a daylight driver except when I want to get somewhere and I intend to jam in a lot of miles. Typically I rather leave very early, like 2:00 or 3:00 AM and when I am pulling out of a campground at that hour I use the docking lights. I want to light up any of those low obstacles that are going to bend metal.
So Jon, you are the Guy that leave early.
We were in Boise, ID. recently and I was airing up a tire using the onboard compressor at 9 am. Some fellow came over and started ranting about "PRE-VOST" owners not being able to afford air compressors and we liked to "show off Early in the morning" by starting up and letting the noisy bastard run for 30 minute while we "fiddle" with our tires". If we would by "Firestones we wouldn't have do so much fiddle'n". I agreed with the fellow, finished up and let it idle for a few extra minutes----just cause. He said he was parked near us but I didn't determine what rig was his, he left me and walk on toward the office. Probably to complain about PRE-VOST" owners.
You are giving us All a bad name with your early morning "Showing Off".
You do know I'm just giving the business?
