Convert to LED bulbs

I converted my cabin and cockpit lights on our 2003 360 DA. Went with blue in the cockpit.
Arch bulbs are 42mm

Floor bulbs are 39mm

Cabin bulbs are G4 base

This was a very cheap way for us to decide if we like the colored lights topside. If we find we like them after the summer we may upgrade to something that is changeable at the switch. This is what our cockpit looks like with these cheap bulbs. Ignore the missing bimini canvas as Hurricane Michael took that.

I just converted my entire 400DB. Went with Marinebeam.
Was competitively priced from about $8 for festoon style to about $16 for a G4 tri-color LED.

Some of the cheap LEDs interfere with the electronics. I am pleased with Marinebeam. Marinebeam.com. They also have a very good return policy and are knowledgeable about marine lighting.

Were you able to find some that change colors with existing switches?

Nope. They have worked great! I am impressed. Not sure that they have any "color switchable" festoons though. I would call them directly.
 
I did. No luck there. Looks like you have to replace the whole unit. No biggie.
