2007 210TE Docking light repair?

[migs]

Hi folks! Noticed yesterday that my bow port side docking light (cat eyes) isnt working. Would you guys know if this is an easy fix (just changing a bulb) or is this something more complicated? I have to drop my boat into the dealer in a few weeks for winterization & if its an easy fix will just ask them to do it (but if this is something thats going to be costly, may just leave it for now). I recall from years ago reading that this was a more complicated of a fix and kinda a pain...But cant be sure anymore. Attaching a pic of the boat.

Thanks!

I have to admit I've never tried, but then again, I don't use my docking lights much, so they both still work. Please post back if you figure it out.

I replaced mine years ago so apologies if my memory is foggy, but you can remove the fascia and acces the bulb easily from the outside. Also these are the same profile bulbs as you would find in a home down light, go get yourself some 12v led versions from the hardware store they will last a lot longer.

Access bulbs from the outside. Unscrew the silver bezel to get access. Replace with led bulbs.

Thank you Gents.

Be careful of the little springs holding the bulb - delicate. And yes, I would get a waterproof LED landscape bulb to replace it. I believe it has the 2 little prongs (can't remember what the base is called).

Good tip on the LED bulbs. Those suckers (halogen, I'm guessing), draw some significant juice.
