replacement LED lights WOW!

Postby Scienceguy » June 19th, 2017, 7:25 pm

I replaced those terrible recessed halogen lights through-out my 406 aft and it was amazingly simple and successful. These (recessed) lamps fit so well that no screws were required! The light is fabulous and they look incredibly better than the originals;especially with their heat-cracked bezels falling down on the deck. If you've got these 2-1/2" lights and want to replace them cheaply here's the link:

Dont see a link either but if the fixture is not damaged mine in my 405 were still fine. Keep in mind it's very simple to replace the bi pin bulb with a led like these at $2.88 a fixture

Wasn't an option for me. The heat had destroyed the bezels and they were falling off the ceiling. The heat had glued the plastic to the headliner in some cases! Besides, the chrome bezel looks considerably classier than the old ones.

I need to replace all my halogen lights as the bezels are all cracking and falling off. Replacement bezels are no longer available. I am wonder how they stay in place without screws? Do they just pop into hole?
