Cobalt factory interior accent led lighting
Re: Cobalt factory interior accent led lighting
Hmmmm. Maybe I got ripped off. Mine doesn't have the CC switch.
Do you think the wiring is also installed but no lights added Southern?

Re: Cobalt factory interior accent led lighting
Sorry just saw this. Well the switches are all wired up and light up even if not used but whether the actual lighting wires would be run I'm not sure.Driller wrote: Sun Oct 08, 2017 6:45 pm Hmmmm. Maybe I got ripped off. Mine doesn't have the CC switch.

I had led strips installed in all of my Cubbies. Is that what you're talking about? You can get it done much much cheaper than what you can order it from Cobalt for. That will save money when you're ordering to put towards things that you can only get from Cobalt.
Or you can have lights installed in your speakers.

Depending on how handy you are working with wiring, cutting holes in the boat, and OCD about all dash switches matching etc. Then it might be worth it depending on the cost.Ytmsn wrote: Wed Oct 04, 2017 6:13 pm Welcome to the forum from Central Oklahoma Tara!

I would think though that even if you go with Cobalt you’re gonna want to upgrade shortly if you boat any at night. That’s assuming Cobalt doesn’t offer a multi-color change with the music system now.

Re: Cobalt factory interior accent led lighting
I have 2 open acc switches with wiring to them to use for the led lights. I did find led speaker rings I'm going to install during the off season. Looks like blast led are good ones and they are light changing.

Re: Cobalt factory interior accent led lighting
Thanks Tara. I checked with the dealer about changing mine but that's great as diy.

Re: Cobalt factory interior accent led lighting
I have speaker rings on my new boat and have no need for led light strips or any other lighting. They work really good, and with the wet sounds remote I can set them on any color, or fade in and out to different colors, or flash blink. So far I like settling on one and leaving it there so its not as spastic. And beware the blue... Blue lights attract bugs. Just think of any lawn zapper with a blue light in it. But it looks really good when you are underway!

Nice payback. It's on the lower platform.

Re: Cobalt factory interior accent led lighting
Thanks for all the comments. Sounds like a whole bunch of good people on this forum. Gonna bookmark it and visit regularly. I decided to not do led accent lights due to the high cost of only 4 light pods. I'm going to do all 9 speakers with led rings sounds like it will light up the boat beautifully. I have a couple pics of boat now but will get more when speaker mods are done.
