Door handle light may have a switch built in or may have inside switch

I have the old Reflect-O-Lite door handle also and the light switch is just inside the handle up under the lens by the light itself. It is a little push button switch. Don't feel bad as I couldn't find mine either I just got lucky by feeling around!

That is correct Derek. Can't find replacement lenses for these either. I had to fabricate one out of a truck lens and glue it on. Works perfect!

My 87 Dolphin had the porch light and outside grabhandle in the same fixture.  Switch was immediately below the light lens and behind the handle. The lens on this kind just has tabs on top and  bottom and can be pushed off by reaching under the lens and pushing out. If that is where your switch is don't be surprised if the switch works poorly or not at all, it is very exposed to the elements and corrosion is very common.

Here is mine after I made one out of aluminum sheet and put stained glass in it . The on and off button is just under the top of the  handle under the screw holding the cover on. You can look at my photos and see how it was made.

Homer, that is Sweet Man! I made a replacement lens using a 4 inch trailer light but no where as nice as that!!

Shot in the dark, but anyone know if I can get a replacement for this light? I've got an 87 Dolphin and the switch was badly corroded and unusable. The lens was also missing. I'm wondering if I won't have to just buy a newer light and wire it in.

Problem with replacing it is the big hole this one makes. Nothing newer quite that size.

Here's your lens and switches can be replaced

Thank You Linda! I didn’t think I would ever find a replacement for my original Bargman Grab Bar light. Your Awesome! I also found on eBay old stock Bargman rear light assemblies so Grannie is good to go!
