I bought a pair of new ones from Tony @ Fountain last year. I remember them being cheap... maybe $10-15. Don't quote me on that though LOL

mine were broken also,i think its a pretty common thing.i bought my replacement @my local marine store,i think west marine or one of the other big marine stores have them.it will probley be cheaper too.

mine work but are broke off in half as well. Kind of a stupid design on them as they stick straight out and anytime your in the compartment your going to snap them off. Once I get the boat out Im going to look for a flush mount LED or something to replace them

Got o a Marine supply store and get them with the metal brackets. They're not indestructable but a lot more durable.

any 12v light is going to work and I wouldnt think they wouldnt have to be marine grade as long as they were sealed up nice. But I would imagein you can probably some nice marine lights one Ebay or amazon as well.

I had to replace one of those white bilge lights once after finding the wolder joint had failed on one of the wires inside. So I bought 3 one to replace the broken bilge light and 2 to put in my anchor locker. 1 out of the 3 broke its solder joint right out of the packaging! Luckly I'm pretty good at soldering but if anyone likes the performance of it heres a few links.

The 2nd link did not quote prices but the West Marine is a bend me over price:evilb: I paid 1/2 that :drink:The smaller light is a better fit in tight 2x engine type set up!
