[C320-list] Cabin lights LED replacements

[Doug Treff]

Scott,

I did this a while ago - the lights are available from CatalinaDirect. They changed the light fixtures over the years, so it's best to be really careful about what you buy. Be extremely particular about "side-pin" vs. "back-pin" lights. Verify what your fixture has in it. In my 1996 model (hull 350), I needed the side-pin disc style bulbs for most of the halogen bulb replacements.

Using the specifications on the CD site, I was able to find similar lights from Amazon that have worked flawlessly since 2015.  I would suggest if you go the amazon route, order a single bulb, confirm it's the correct one, then order the quantity you need after that. I have replaced every one of my halogen interior bulbs with these and it has helped tremendously. I also found that the fixtures in the my vee berth took a different style bulb, so be sure to look at all of them before you order.

Also note the cautions and warnings on the CD site where they explain how to open up the light fixtures without breaking them.

Here's the CD link: https://www.catalinadirect.com/shop-by-boat/catalina-320/electrical/replacement-bulbs/
