Rear Underwater light Replacement help, options?

[ThatMalibuNY]

Just picked up my 2016 23 lsv a couple weeks ago and one of the factory underwater lights flickers so i figured it would be a good time for an upgrade.  But what is everyone using to replace the factory lights?  I see a bunch of guys recommend the Water Dragon (new malibu) light but the screw holes are of by about a 1/2".  Does everyone just drill into the hull to make new lights work or is there a direct replacement option? Thank you in advance

Awesome, thank you. Did these go in the same location as factory or did you have to drill new holes?

I did not have the factory lights installed so I had to drill holes

Understood, thank you! Just a regular drill bit? And marine waterproof silicone?

Take a look at this thread, 

I know I used it along with other info found on TMC website that I felt giving them some gas money was a no brainer.
