Halogen lights

Does anyone know how to replace the bulbs on these lights? I would like to upgrade them to LED but I can't figure out how to get to the bulb?

Usually the lens comes out, push up and turn lightly.

If I remember right use a small flat screwdriver an pry the smallest ring around the light out go around the ring gently

When I replaced mine, there is a retaining nut on the back side that comes off, then it should fall right out.

Jmoen, what did you replace yours with?

Greg, I used blue Lumitec Echo's. They look great.

Like frenchship said except I used a putty knife or jack knife blade, something very thin to pry up at the first ring.

I found the LED direct replacement for the halogen lights from replacementboatparts.com. They are made by the OEM of the lights. I ordered two to see how they would work out, and they work great. Much cooler than the halogen ones, and use less amperage.

Yep, frenchship is correct.  pry the small ring inside to get to it.  You can pry the larger ring to get the entire unit out.  I've done them all on my current boat as well as the previous one, & helped a few buddies.  Lots of experience!  (whether I wanted it or not)
