[C320-list] Anchor light LED bulb.

[Doug Treff]

I second Chris' recommendation on replacing the housing. Mine crumbled when I tried to open it. ended up with a new fixture and another trip up the mast.

Or at least buy a fixture and have it in your tool bag. If it's not needed, you can always return it.
