I found what I consider to be the perfect porch light fixtures for my teardrop. These fixtures are used as steplights on the MTA buses in Los Angeles. Anyone know who manufactures these or where I can purchase them? I haven't called the MTA yet because they might think I sound desperate but I need these fixtures!!!

Here's one on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 03064&rd=1
They have a link on the auction to this site that has different kinds too. http://www.bestbuyelectric.com/acatalog ... hting.html

I did a search on step light. Motorhomes and buses call them stepwell lights.

Or they're called courtesy lights in marine catalogs. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding some you like... :)

Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm getting closer and closer. I went ahead and e-mailed the MTA to see if I could get mopre information on those fixtures. I'll share what I find out. George.

George,

Check out the MTA repair shops. There are two or three in LA. They may have some spares and just slip you one. Drive up with your tear and those mechanics will be all over you, checkin g out your tear and offering suggestions. Lot cheaper than searching all around for a light to match, you never know.
Regards,

Guy
Keep on living, laughing, learning and loving.

Thanks Guy, I'll see if I can locate one of these shops. Are they part of MTA or just contracted with them? George.
