While I can help you determine exactly how to figure out what replacement lens you need, trailer manufacturers don't manufacture a list of replacement parts for models of trailers, and SAE actually stands for "Society of Engineers" and isn't a part number for the light, it just means it has passed certain standards.

Having said all that, in order to determine the correct replacement lens, a part number (which may be on the light itself) is needed, or you may be able measure to determine what light you have and get the lens from that. Otherwise, you'll need to replace the entire light assembly; you will simply need to measure your current tail lights and find the one that most closely matches your measurement, and also know if your lights are surface mounted or recessed mounted.

For example, the Optronics Fleet LED Trailer Tail Lights # TLL12RK have a light face which is 6-1/2" long x 2-5/16" tall and are recessed mounted.

If you let me know what your light measures and how they mount I would be happy to try and find the best replacement for you. I have also added a link to our entire selection of tail lights for you to check out, which you can filter by size once you measure your lights.
