Just bought a silverton 361 express and most all the courtesy lights are blown. Is there a way to replace them? They are the little white ones that look like eye lids. i took one out to see if it could be replaced from the back there didn't seem to be a way. There is a line where it goes together wasn't sure if i preyed on that if it would break them.

Thank for any responses!
 
They are Perko lights and a pain to change bulbs, if you can even find bulbs. I suggest you replace with the new Perko LED fixtures that fit the same hole.
 
If the ones he is looking for are Perko, that's good.

The ones I needed aren't Perko. They are actually a license plate light made by some company in Commie Land and without fabricating all new brackets no other light I could find would fit the hole. So, I bought all I could get my hands on. :)

use a little dielectric grease on the bulb ends to fight corrosion..
 
Interesting that just the replacement bulb costs 163% of the whole Perko fixture with bulb. [;D]
 
Gently pry the front off and then they're easy to change.
 
Get away from the old fixtures replace them with Perko, Companyonway or IMTRA LED fixtures you won't even know they are on they draw about 1/10 the current of the old ones . No corrosion problems either they are sealed assemblies. I installed 6 new red floor lighting fixtures in the bridge doesn't affect my night vision at all. I also have a Mainship. Pry the front off remove the 4 screws and use heat shrink butt connectors and never worry about replacement again. They will outlast the boat. Bill

They're made here in Masschusetts?!?!
 
That's would be really funny if it was true, Mike. BTW Rand MaNally is revising all their maps to reflect the most accurate spelling of it: Tax-a-Two-Sh!ts...
