Looks like a stock Grimes nav light assembly with an 'Aero-flash' piggy back wing tip strobe. Nothing exotic, check the usual sources like Aircraft Sprouce or trade a plane ads.

After looking at that strobe for a while it could be some other brand than Aero-flash. Like Whelan for example. I think Cessna even sold a "piggy-back' style tip strobe.

juasiel you should FIRST inspect your strobe system and determine it's manufacturer and model. THEN contact Spruce for the individual replacement part. Their paper catalog lists each and every replacement part made which may be purchased seperately.
But make certain you know which mfr FIRST. You may have a lookalike system that is not interchangeable (but it looks to me a like a simple A-650-PG-14 (green) or A-650-PR-14 (red) which lists for $165.

So far as I could determine, the Grimes parts are no longer available. My Grimes power supplies quit, and I couldn't determine any replacement. I put in Aero-Flash units. Aircraft Spruce has all the nav light parts, as I needed new bases and didn't want to pay for the whole light assembly and throw most of it away. Aircraft Spruce has lots of good stuff is you look around!
