Re: Nav Lights - Sidelights stopped working
You'd still be well advised to change out all those push-on connections with screw-down terminal blocks. The hardest part of that whole project was creating a mounting board and I went a little overboard to avoid using any screws that would show from the outside. You could easily mount a panel (starboard or wood) and screw it in from the backside and the screws would be still hidden under the seat cushions and you could use flathead screws so they would be flush with the fiberglass. Your lower helm has the same issue and I'd recommend the same modifications.

Re: Nav Lights - Sidelights stopped working
My 405 has the same BUT also has a breaker marked NAV LIGHTS at my main panel down by the gally. Do you have this?
GOOD LUCK
