Courtesy lights
 
Does anyone know where you can get the 2"x4" in. courtesy lights that you can change the bulb color. If not does anyone have any cool looking ones or know where to buy them.

I am in the process of redoing the cockpit and want to tie in some color lights.

Just thought I would ask around.

Thanks I checked out the neon lights I think I will put some of those under my bolsters. I am still looking to replace my existing courtesy plastic lights otherwise i will have holes.

I've been using the neon tube style lights for a few years now. I have one up under each side gunwale in the cockpit area, and one in the engine compartment.

I have the engine compartment light wired to the existing pin switch that tells the ram to stop when the hatch is all the way closed. So it goes on as soon as i raise the hatch. at night i just crack the hatch a bit, and the light shines out of the vents on the sides of the boat.....looks pretty cool.

I do usually have to replace at least 1 a year due to the plastic tubes breaking from the pounding. But they sell them at Pep boys for like $15.

Here is what i found, these are from Eddie marine you can not change the bulb; however he does make the bezel in all the popular colors.
