232 Courtesy Lights

LP_Captiva_232

I have a 2005 232 BR with LED courtesy lights along the floor.  One of the lights doesn't work and the lens for the front of the light is missing.  It seems like the LED is bad and needs to be replaced (I've removed the light and tested it, the LED appears to be the problem).  However, I would like to replace the light to it's original condition with the lens in tact.  Does anyone know who the manufacturer is of these lights or where I could get a replacement?

Thanks.

I remember reading a thread about this same problem and found it under electrical discussions

I used these ones as a direct replacement. http://www.itc-marine.com/product/tri-color-led-light/

If they are the small single LED oval lights, here is the link. You can get them on Amazon. I replaced mine with blue.

I've used these as replacements as well.  Also note that a common failure mode of these lights is a stress fracture of the LED leg at the circuit board.  Reflow the solder and all is well.

Appreciate all the help everyone. 

Thanks!

Greg,

How do the old ones come off - it's almost like they are glued in place.

There's a retaining nut on the backside of the light.  The whole unit comes out as an assembly.  The lens does not come off separately.

So you need to reach up through the engine compartment to get at them? How do you reach the one at the foot of the helm seat?

I had to remove the speaker to get mine.

Here are the older style lights. I had these on my '98 232cc.

My 2004 232 has the lights Cableguy referenced. They aren't LED lights and do have a replaceable lens. I installed LED bulbs in mine. I was wanting to install a replacement LED fixture but couldn't find any that were close in size of the original. That is why I just installed LED bulbs. I have seen replacement lenses available, but don't remember where I found them.

Has anyone found the original lights for these? I lost a lens cover and want to replace with the original Thanks.
