i know i looked there. it's my main supply for LED products. im a stickler for OEM items. it would drive my OCD nuts to have different types installed. since i need 4 and have 2 already i would prefer to have all 4 the same.

@diemaster- Did you ever hear back from Thor? I'm looking for the same light as well for the exact same reasons! I've Google Searched and dug through Aliexpress and can't find the same light.

thor never answered me (no surprise there) however i did find it. made by IRC inc. RV headquarters are are in Elkhart, IN (sounds inexpensively conspictious AKA short drive down to get parts? AKA no shipping?)

it's called a down light though thor calls it a step light on there schematics.
theres 2 versions. one black and one chrome.
site has amazon and CW links.

LED Down Light - ITC RV

i ordered 2 on 9/1/18 though amazon and it says it's be 10/2 when i get them. so we shall see.

got the lights about 3 days ago. they look exactly like the ones Thor used. even have the same labels on the wires that are on the coach step light.

now to find if the handle is lit and not hooked up or what...

I got mine earlier this week and hooked it up in the bathroom. Looks great and matches the originals exactly! I'll post a photo once I have the RV back home next week.

How about some short (3") LED strip lights?
The 12 volt versions could easily be wired into you coach batteries.
They're pretty darn flat, are stuck on with tape, and you can "hide" them just about anywhere!

i cant speak for MMThor, but im a OEM freak; anything i change or add, if it came on another model, must be mounted in the same location, using the same wire colors, and using all OEM parts.

for example, im adding power door locks and power windows on my project Honda civic hatch. that year (1995) none of the hatches had those options but the coupes did. so i swapped in the wire harness, window motors and locks form a coupe that had them. so in the end i have a unique car with OEM options that were not on that trim or type of car. same with the RV

Wow that is dedication to OEM. For light I just ordered the 6 led round motion detector lights. Placed the contact Velcro on the light and where I want them. I walk in my coach at night and the stair and overhead all light up as soon a motion (door opening) is detected. If they become a bother at night I just pull them down and stick them in a drawer.
