Nav lights 2008 VLX

[BumbleBee]

Hello all,

Can someone tell me the manufacturer of the flip over nav lights Malibu put on their boats. Their crap, well the actual light is, the poor mans mercury switch is pathetic and using an soft metal screw into a led base is just plain stupid.

I've gone through two lights so far, now as I said the flip over bit is great. I am searching for the brand name/manufacturer so I can see if the make a replacement light fitting.....

In Australia these lights complete cost $250 !!!!!!!!!!

superbrightleds.com has a replacement LED for like $6, give them a call, just replaced 2 this fall.

Edit: this is what you need. I think the 3022-hp4 is the size but call them to verify.

Hey thanks for the reply, not sure if I made my point though. I have a 2008 VLX, my nav light in bow is a flip over model (Malibu) guard the brand name so as you cannot find it on the web :{ . A the guts/internals crap them selves and the small screw that holds the lens cap down snapped off on my currant one and a previous light.

Since I posted this I have found a solution. Tear out the guts of the light all together while retaining the lens cover and steel flip over light mount. Then simple install a Led light (ones which are found in your cup holders or brighter) , drill a hole into the steel mount to tap and screw into so you can fasten the lens back on .

You wouldn't know the difference if I hadn't told you
