On the stern of my yacht, I have a running light on the end of a SS tube.
The glass is gone. On the base for the glass, R and G are embossed, meaning
to me that one should orient the glass in a red/green way. The front
running light is red and green. Is it the same for the stern? I can't find
one of the glasses to save my life, and may just have to replace the whole
damn thing. Or, is the rear light clear?

The stern light is clear...white, actually.

Er...on boats less than 12 meters (39.37 feet), a stern light is clear
showing 180 degrees.

Then the one I have ( a tube about 18" long with terminals at one end and a
bulb at the other ) may possibly at one time been a bow light because of the
R and G embossed letters. This is gonna make it a lot easier to find a glass
globe. I have been running it with just an exposed bulb.

try page 41. a sternlight is defined as one that displays over an arc
of 135 degrees. on some vessels, an all around light may be used.
there's nothing about a light displaying 180 degrees.
