    I installed these on my 360 last year.  We love them and they continue to work great this season.  I went with the stainless trim but they had white and black as well.

    Yes, I saw them when I ordered the blue led bulbs for mine a couple years ago.  They look really cool, but it was tough ordering 12 of them at that price.  The admiral now says I have too many blue leds in the hardtop (too bright), so I may just take half out.  It'd be nice if the other half were white and I had a choice.  Oh well, I'll just stick with a bunch of blue for now.

    wow, if they drop another 10 bucks I might have to think about filling my hardtop with them as well!

    I would like to see some pics when they are installed. We don't have lights in our arch as the canvas runs underneath.

    I'm jealous of the price. Last year I installed 6 Lumitec orbit tri color lights in the cockpit. They were $70 a piece. the only difference I see is that I'm able to dim my lights when they are in the white light mode. Jerry

    How do these work in a retrofit application?  I have a on/off rocker switch.   So is it on/white, off, on/blue, off, on/red, off.

    Are these a direct replacement or would a person need to make or purchase an adapter

    They should fit the existing holes. I will post pictures of what I have and what they look like after I get them installed.

    The lights look great. I can't wait to see them at night. The two screw holes were so close that I didn't have to drill new ones. They are about an 1/8" smaller than the old ones.

    Here is a picture of them at night. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do them justice.

    MT, I am glad that you pointed them out. I was looking for a replacement light since the old lights were very bright. Having these, I get the best of both worlds, a blue or red light that looks cool and a white light that I can switch to if I need to really light up the cockpit.

    Now I need to find a place to order the Mate N Lock connectors that are used throughout the boat. If not, I am going to get stock in 3M. I am using butt connectors like crazy replacing lights. I would rather use the Mate N Lock ones when replacing lights. I have one of the small LED cockpit lights that are out. I would like to replace them with the blue ones, but that means more butt connectors. Ugh...
