Peter and Dave
Thanks! You made my morning. I was at the Toronto Boat show yesterday and the only thing that came close was ~$18.00 each, and frankly did not look particularly durable. Addison

Dave, awdirect says the AX32's are 2.25" high too. Do they stick out further from the walls than the originals?

I bought some LED festoon bulbs off ebay that I'm very happy with.
They're similar to these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1x-42mm-211-212-2W-HP-12V-Xenon-White-LED-Festoon-Bulb_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33713QQihZ018QQitemZ280203287352QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Rick Painkiller 1991 C42 |

Please check out superbrightleds.com as they also have virtually ANY light in LED form to replace an existing non-LED light and the prices are the best
you'll find. Dr. LED is also an exellent source and their MR16 LED lights are plug replacements for the overhead halogen lights; when you replace ALL of
those overhead halogens with LED's you'll use LESS energy by turning on ALL of your LED lights than when turning on a single halogen light. The bonus
is that you'll have the SAME light with NO heat. I can't believe anybody including Catlalina would use halogens on a boat as I personally fell they
are a fire hazard as they run very hot. We live on our boat full time and our 4 130-watt Kyocera solar panels, here in the Pacific Northwest, already run the
boat 24X7 as of March 1 and will continue to do so until October 1 due, in part, to our converting ALL our lights to either LED or flourescent and that
includes our anchor light that, in an anchorge with other boats, will always be the BRIGHTEST anchor light in the area.

solar panel installation area on top of our bimini | #16 | ||

On top of our bimini. We have good friends who actually used the 4 solar panels to BE the bimini but we elected to put a 2nd set of horizontal rails across
the top of the soft bimini and attach the solar panels to them and it's a very secure and neat installation

I second the LED night lights from AWdirect! I just bought a whole set and they look very much O.E.! Kevin, the height is the same as O.E. and they don't
stick out any farther as I can tell.
