Thanks! Ordered some similar ones and they work well. The "bulb" seems slightly longer than the one that was in there, but was able to wedge it in. Upgraded a friends A25 as well. Now it just gets mildly warm.okielaker wrote: Sun Sep 08, 2019 4:16 pm on Amazon:
DE3175 LED Bulb, LEDKINGDOMUS 4 Pcs 31mm Marine Led Bulb Festoon 6000K Cool White 3014 Chipset Bulb For Car Interior Lights, Boat Bow/Anchor/Navigation
Sold by: LED Kingdomus
Package of 4 (for $11.54), so find some friends with Cobalts who want to do the same
I can't find the other 3 from when I did this... know I didn't toss them, they could be in the boat storage.

Time to switch to LED's.It's silly how much enjoyment there is in being able to help out any of the long-time chatters... but there it is....AsLan7 wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2019 2:29 pm,okielaker wrote: Sun Sep 08, 2019 4:16 pmon Amazon:greenhut wrote: Wed Sep 04, 2019 3:53 pm I discovered last night, by nearly burning my hand, that the nav lights in the front must not be LEDs in our 2020 R5.

Thanks OL. I ordered some today as well. My son placed his hand on the bow navigation light and got a hot surprise.

Do they come on with the swim platform lights?greenhut wrote: Wed Sep 11, 2019 2:20 pmThanks! Ordered some similar ones and they work well.

Nice to be able to give back a little, sure have gotten a LOT of good info from this group.

I replaced the bulb on my anchor light pole, and the bulb on top of my arch, at the same time,
on the same order... I don't know which is which (didn't keep good notes, sorry), but:
921 LED Bulb - 18 LED Tower - Miniature Wedge Base Cool White $5.95
BA9s LED Bulb - 5 SMD LED Tower - BA9s Bulb Cool White $3.95
both at superbrightleds.com
I think if you pull the pole bulb, it's obvious... at least, that's what my fuzzy memory recalls.
both were much brighter, to my eyes.
Did everyone just notice A7 is the only one that can post 6 pictures. What the heck.AsLan7 wrote: Tue Sep 17, 2019 10:19 pm .
Just finished Navigation light LED upgrade.
Pics for anyone interested in doing the same. Easy-Peasy.
