Most of us make our own out of bits of soldered brass or glued plastic and ligted with a micro blue led(have to add 1000ohm or so resistor).

micro blue led mounted in hull (I got lazy and no 4 window cover). Home made brass tube housing with some plastic tube out of a pen.

Hi I used fibreoptic cable to make my one running from a blue LED . Heres my HL Tiger with fibre optic convoy lights , not perfect but first attempt. I scratch built the brass mount and used a paint brush tip protector for the lens . Its not my idea so cant take the credit for it.
