ANCHOR LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

Post by SHINNDIG »

Has anyone replaced their anchor light bulb with an LED? My boats an '04 and I'm not sure the fixture is the same in other years. I took my bulb out and it's about 1 3/4 inches long and looks like a "festoon" bulb but the ends are concave rather than the convex ends on the standard festoon bulbs. I can't find any bulbs with concave ends and the fixture seems to require them.

BULBS ARE AVAILABLE AT WEST MARINE, ABOUT $40.
BUT THEY LAST FOREVER, MY ANCHOR LT IS ON 24/7 FOR PAST 6 MONTHS.

Thanks so much for the help. It looks like the Aqua Signal Festoon from Marine Beam is the correct bulb for my fixture. Sorry for the delayed response - we've been away without internet for a week.
Thanks,
