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!!!

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...

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.

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