These ones are available at Home Depot. I have replaced a ton of mine with them.

Re: replacement LED lights WOW!
for general lighting personally i'm not a big fan of cool white with some leds so in case you want a close resemblance to what color temp you get with the oem halogens or incandescent bulbs make sure you check your replacement is warm white and not cool white ,fyi

[quote][/quote]I am wonder how they stay in place without screws? Do they just pop into hole?
Yes, just pop in. They have collapsible tabs that hold them in. They also have screw holes that line up perfectly with the old holes.

Replaced all of my halogen two pin bulbs with these leds! Worked out great. Amazed at the brightness and the heat reduction. Going to do the same thing in my 3297 (The Endeavor). Looking for bayonet based types today!

Re: replacement LED lights WOW!
Ok, my Amazon lights were delivered. They were so simple to install! Yea!! Thanks, they sure look better !! For Father's Day our daughter wanted to buy dad the underwater lights for night swimming. Wow are they more than a 15 year old can afford lol. We settled for waterproof LED peal and stick lights we also got on amazon. They were super easy and put out amazing light.

Dream Lighting LED Recessed Ceiling Light 3.5W Silver Pack of 10
They are $6.50 ea. West marine wants3-4 times that.
Thank you for your advice on the Dream Light. The impact was amazing! We ended up replacing 27 lights in total. The entire boat is nice and bright. The yellow hue is finally gone and our electricity bill is much happier.
Saving on the interior lights allowed us to splurge a bit more on the underwater lights.
My husband insisted on three. Lessons learned, two are more than anyone needs. Nonetheless, we love the outcome. I've coined this "the aquarium" as it's always full of fish!

Meredith, would you mind sharing what brand/model underwater lights you installed? We're looking at installing some on our 530 voyager. You think 3 is too many? Our beam is about 15". Nice to know the blue attracts fish!
