Where can I find these light fixtures?

On my quest to de-brass our coach, I'm looking for a replacements for a few fixtures.  I want to replace these with something in a brushed nickel finish:

1 - bedroom and bathroom puck lights
2 - bathroom sink overhead fixtures
3 - living room wall mounted

I'd like LED lighting for all as well.

Suggestions?

Very interested in answer, especially for the slide lights, the on-off switches are unreliable.

Gustafson makes some RV light fixtures that you might be interested in.  You can find them at etrailer.com and others.  I would be very interested in purchasing your bathroom light fixtures if you replace them.  I'm staying with the brass.  The acrylic lens for that fixture is very delicate and prone to breaking in half.  Don't ask me how I know.

For the puck lights, I removed the cover, popped out the glass, and sprayed them with silver spray paint.  For the bedroom lights, I bought inexpensive RV reading lights from Amazon.

Klaus try spraying your switches with contact spray and that may fix them.

They worked good. Even ground them small enough to fit in door handle. Several of the led quit working but works great. You do have to bend the tails

I got these at RecPro.com.  Nice and bright for kitchen and desk areas.  Installing dimmer in living and bedroom areas.  If your looking for the original brass fixture or bronze puck fixtures, I have some.

That era coach (well into the mid 2000's as well) had Gustafson fixtures, particularly for sconces.

Just a comment on LED puck replacements, be sure to get ones with a voltage range rating (8-20 Vdc).  LEDs want to see constant current, or they will fail quickly.  Pucks designed for 12 Vdc (not a range) lack the proper circuitry to provide constant current at the varying (11.5-14.5 Vdc) experienced on the RV 12V power bus.  You will pay a bit more, but they will last longer and be safer (less chance of overheating).

Thank you Michelle,

I take factual advice over opinions any day, and that not only in regards to light fixtures.

Many options for the pucks. I used these direct replacements for the halogen bulbs and painted the gold rings.

Seems kind of silly to replace a whole light fixture when all you have to do is pop the cover and paint them. That's what I did 2 years ago and they still look great. I used the krylon oil rubbed bronze finish. You could do it in a brushed nickel too I would think although I never looked for that particular color. I was able to do more than just a puck lights including the shower the mirror the white AC vents the white AC covers and pretty much anything else that I didn't like the color of. It's a multi-day job but it's not hard put some masking tape over the glass clean them really good with alcohol you could do some 220 grit sandpaper on each one briefly and then paint them in multiple thin coats making sure to get every exposed edge. Made a huge difference on my coach. Wasn't a fan of the gold either.
As far as LED light bulbs I think you get what you pay for. I go to m4 lighting for mine and while they are more expensive than Amazon you get a much better light in my opinion. They're made with larger heat sinks and I think better LEDs.
Make sure when you get the LED bold that you get the thinner pins. The thicker pins do not like to go into the fixtures that we have and you'll either have to sand them down some or really really work hard to get them in. And the danger of that of course is breaking one of the pins off.
At some point I'll probably take my shower apart again and have it powder coated instead of painted a little bit too much use but after 2 years I only have a few areas that I could touch up easily enough with a brush. Painting the mirror was the biggest pia. That one took quite a long time to not only get out of the coach but to paint it without any overspray on the mirror. But in the end I think it was still worth it although I would have went to powder coating instead if I wasn't rushed for time.

Update...as for the originals, they were Gustafson Halogen lights.  Unfortunately the "brushed nickel" AM4015 version is no longer available.  I did manage to find one on Ebay, so I bought it.  It's more of a silver paint with no real grain like brushed nickel.

What I did was removed the covers, popped out the glass lenses and had them hydro-dipped by Wet Workz Designs here in Vegas, in a brushed nickel finish.  After being cleared, they are a little shinier than I expected, but look good.  The lights were $15 each when they were available.  This process cost me about the same.

Not yet.  I haven't started looking for those.  I did these first because the bit you see is just a cover that twists on and the light itself didn't have to be "removed".

I just pulled out all of the push on switches for our lamps in the "living room" and the swing out lamps beside the bed, like the ones in your pix. I checked with MOT and the switches were like $14 each. Instead I went to Autozone and got small toggle switches and installed them. They work great and there is not the push once, twice, and then maybe the lamp will come on.

I have the slide lights from my 97 U320.  One of the bulbs would not light up, but all of the other ones are good.  Unfortunately I do not remember which one has the bad lamp.
