I just recently replaced the lenses and the bulbs on my bow and stern nav
lights. I bought new lights but then just switched the lens pieces and left
the original wiring / mounting unchanged.

The stern light LED replacement came with the appropriate adapters whether you
need pointed or dimpled caps.

Both the bow and stern lights had crazed lenses that looked like they would
significantly reduce the amount of light emitted so I chose to replace them too. 

It was a simple job to remove the stern light (just a couple of screws) but the bow
light screws had corroded, and I did damage the old lens holder while removing it.
I would have had to replace it anyway.
