Lightbulb Lighting on outside of door entrance

On my 2013 Winnebago Vista 30t, I replaced the porch light with (Starlight 1000, comes in black or white), it is a motion light and comes with a Led bulb. I went with black to match the rest of my coaches outside accessories. I also removed the outside grab bar to replace the burnt out bulb with an Led (come to find out it had no light socket or wiring to begin with). So I installed a aftermarket socket (purchased at O'Reilly Auto Parts) and added a Led bulb in it (secured in place with sealant tape) then drilled small hole on outside of coach between the 4 bottom mounting screws, then drilled small hole inside the coach approximately 2 inches over, then pulled wire thru the wall (took a little bit of effort) then reinstalled the grab bar with new sealant tape. I then wired it into the lamp that lights the steps inside (which I also replaced that bulb with an Led). To activate the motion light you just flip your porch light switch on,off, on and it's active, grab bar and step light stay on and when someone approaches the coach the porch light automatically comes on then after several (with no movement) it goes off. In the pic the grab bar looks super bright at the bottom, but the bar lights up equally top to bottom.
