[C320-list] LED light replacment - logistics

[Jon Vez]

Brad,

For the cabin lights, the light and reflector are one piece. You remove the
light by simply pulling the whole thing out of the housing. You should be
able to start it with a finger nail. There are two pins that are part of the
light that simply push into place. You can see your current lights in any
grocery, pharmacy or hardware store as they are quite common. If this still
doesn't make sense, I can try and take some photos for you the next time I'm
at the boat...

Subject: [C320-list] LED light replacment - logistics

I have been following the recent thread on the LED light replacements and I
think the "what is the best light" topic is fully vetted.  I did want to do
this upgrade especially with a 3 day overnight coming up.  When I started
tearing into one of the lamps, I didn't quite find what I thought I would
see.  It LOOKs like the reflector is part of the lamp and you only replace
the bulb?  This at least on the main cabin 16s.  The pictures of the
replacment show that they ship an entire cone.  So I am not seeing how goes
together....  Did I not take it apart enough?  Then upon further inspection,
it looks like bulb is set with two wires, not sure how those wires would be
held in there....

Any feedback on this from those who have done the LED upgrade?  Anyone have
any pictures on the website?

Thanks again for all the help so far, slowing beginning to understand this
boat.  :)
