 hi guys this is how i did my bay lights .first off cheap rv lights run $10-20. and i needed lots of them so
they where low on my to do list .i looked a lot on e bay then one day a box of 18 lights poped up. starting
bid $9 & $9 shipping they where dirty looked ugly and sold as is as where in the guys garage for yrs no
one bid but me bid so i won. a bus nut  saw them and asked why did i buy that junk [ look at first picture ]
yes they looked ugly. but cleaned up real nice and they all worked when tested. so i cut some rings out of scrape 2x6 and coverd them in leftover carpet that i used in the bays now i have great looking bay lights

I have a whole bunch of those that I've been trying to get rid of. They came out of the bus early on in the conversion - every pair of seats has one of those fittings above them - they're like yours but moulded out of plastic and are square because they each have two directional air vents in addition to the two lights. They look really useful, but I can't think of a use for them. I've tried Ebay but no-one wanted them.

In fact I still had a photo on my computer from when I advertised them on Ebay. I've got loads of these - can anyone think of a use for them in a conversion?

Hi Gerry

Thanks...I've sent you an email

Apologies to everyone else for having placed an advert in this post without meaning to - I wasn't really expecting anyone on the board to be interested in these things since most people know that I'm not in the States.
