Replacement Bow Light Lens?
Does anyone know where I can find a replacement plastic lens? The original has two ears that help secure the assembly to the bow. One of those ears is broken off and it's flimsy when I tighten down the screw. The other ear looks pretty weak.

I had called Dustin and we chatted 20 minutes or so last month. I didn't want to go smaller because we idle home in our creek in the dark sometimes and I wanted as much light as possible. He sent me some pics of bow lights he has used in the past and also reminded me that LED is so much brighter than incandescent. Size doesn't matter.
I settled on this one, still has an old school look. We have a scaffold set up to repair the garage's attic fan in front of the boat and I thought great time to replace bow light. I pulled it out of the box and read the notice that the LED's are polarity sensitive. Well, with the dash out and wires hanging everywhere, this will have to wait until I can verify.

On the new light yes, but cig used white/black. Not sure if my bow/anchor light switch is wired original but it switches ground to one light and hot to the other to get bow/stern and stern only. When I bought the boat the stern light didn't work. There was a bad connection (butt connector) at the stern, but it threw me for a loop diagnosing it with opposite switching of the bow light.

I like that one a lot. Very nice. The LED is super bright. Even that really low profile one I installed on the cafe was WAY bright. Plus little electrical draw. Gonna look great!
