Re: Marine Pricing Rant
Thanks for the clarification Viper. Does not make much sense from $50 to $300+ for a LED upgrade when a proper led bulb can be has for around $20 which I may add is replaceable.

Re: Marine Pricing Rant
Good idea, if you are careful you can polish the lens to near perfect if it is good shape and not brittle.....did it with classic car stuff all the time. Then if the guts are ok, new bulb and you're done.Midnightsun wrote:QR_BBPOST Bottom line is I will try to polish up the lens as I do like the fact that mine takes a festoon style bulb which is replaceable by a LED variant compared to the newer built in LED versions from both manufacturers which are not repairable if the light gives up.
The led one is stupid money for what it actually is. Maybe it is like some of the sellers on amazon that post real high prices for things that are on already for much , much lower....not sure what goes on there....
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
