Hi Eric,
We unfortunately do not offer a light with this sizing so alterations would have to be made to the cutout hole in order to get these replaced. If you want to pull the lights out and see if there's any labels with a brand and part number it could help tracking down a replacement. If there isn't then you'll need to either cut the hole larger or cover it with a thin gauge piece of steel and make a new cutout hole for a smaller light to fit into. Let me know what you find and what route you'd like to take and I'd be happy to help.
