This is another project that was done last spring, and originally posted to ClassicMako and THT.
-------------------------------------------------
This past weekend the weather finally cooperated to allow me to replace the factory installed nav lights with LED replacements.
The lights that I used were from Innovative Lighting Inc...
http://www.innovativelight.com/products ... egoryid=62
... and can be purchaced from BOE Marine at:

Here is the factory installed Attwood light before disassembly...
Lining up the template for the new lights and trying to keep the wiring from falling back into the chain locker.
Here is what the "guts" of the light looks like after mounting. Everything is sealed in a black resin 'block' so there is nothing to corrode.
A note of caution!
Before you put the stainless cover on, make certain that everything is the way you want it. The cover has a one-way snap catch on it, so once it is snapped in place, it isn't ever coming off (unless you pry it off and destroy it).
Here is what the old and the new look like side-by-side.
This is what the light looks like while viewed in full sunlight.
BTW - These lights carry an ABYC and USCG designation as 2-mile lights.
In addition to the bow lights, I modified my pilothouse light by installing LED replacement bulbs giving me 2-mile visability all the way around.
I'm pleased with the results!
