Default Removing bow lights?

Can you take out bow lights and re glass the holes so that you would never know they are there? If so, who could be recomended to do this? Any idea on how much something like this would cost?

Thanks.

Yes you most certainly can. Gel or paint either one can be seamlessly blended by an experianced shop. Just off the top of my head in my shop it would be in the fifteen hundred to two thousand range. Not sure what shops are in your area though. I assume you are talking about those big docking lights.

We do glass work. Yes they can usually be removed, however the results depend on the work and materials used. Also price would depend on materials, time, difficulty in accessing the lamps for removal in your hull (some are easier to get at than others inside the bow). Also it would depend on the exterior colors & graphics matching required.. Long story short, unless they look awful or you really really hate them, it is probably less expensive to replace them, or just leave them alone.. Hope this helps...
