I need to replace the ditch light housings on the Athearn Genesis SD70M. I cannot for the life of me assemble 2 in a row, and im finding myself getting the ditch light housing parts from other older run Athearn Genesis locomotives to replace and use on the current ones im doing. This is very frustrating, and i keep loosing one of the halves when assembling them. I dont know how many of you have done the Athearn Genesis ditch light housings, but they are dang near impossible to assemble without loosing one of the halves on the floor. I have thick carpet, so things tend to disappear no matter how hard i look 
I dont see a part number for the ditch light "housings" on the instruction sheet, but the parts im after is the "housing" or the assembly that the ditch lights (which are part number ATHG63825) go up into
What are some alternatives i can use for a SD70M? Who makes one piece ditch light housing that i can just plug in and slip the light up into and be done with it?
I was hoping that Detail Associates or some other detail company would have what i need, but after a quick look, i didnt come up with any. If i missed them, and someone does make ditch lights housings (preferably assembled ones) for a SD70M then please let me know who manufactures them and what the item number is
