I have neons under the storage compartments in the gunwales for the cockpit. I know I need to get with the times. Can't find any pics.

I run these in my cabin. Direct replacement for the factory ones.

This is what i did in my Fountain. I changed out the old factory lights that didnt work with these LED strip lights from Ebay.

It only cost me around $20 total to do. Here is a link to the lights. They are great lights and i never had a problem with them. The wires are extremely thin. Just letting you know.

So you are saying you have lights with a boat? :)

I replaced all my courtesy lightbulbs (168 wedge style) with SMD LED bulbs from SuperBrightLEDs.com. The only problem is the new LEDs are slightly longer so I have to make gaskets to shim out the covers a bit.

I bought 5 meters (about 16ft) of waterproof LED's and I am thinking about putting them on the inside of my swim platform, I have the older style (non tubular) swim platform and figured the lights shining down into the water would look cool.

I would also like to put 2 lengths down the rails of my trailer, shining "up" towards the boat, but, will have to check with the local police first. If it turns ok and DOESN'T look like a low budget strip joint or 1970's disco bar I will post pics.

That is fatttt.....for the price, that is awesome! What brand, where did you get them?

dhnjosh 03-20-2012 05:55 AM

89Notch, where all did you run them? Looks like they are just under the side pad at the bottom. Also where did you get them?

That's correct under the side pads. I bought the 300 led 5m strip from parts express

dhnjosh 03-20-2012 11:08 AM

89notch, did you just stick them to the bottom side of the side pad? I am trying to find something that the lights are mounted vertical so I can loosen the pad and sandwich it behind them and the hull.

yes they come with 3m tape on them. I actually stuck them to the fiberglass under the pad

dhnjosh 03-20-2012 01:42 PM

Really, so they are actually shining outwards but once you cover them up they shine down thru the gap?
