Look around this site. It is exceptional LED replacements. superBrite LED is also a good source for other offbeat needs not found on Marinebeam.
Thanks.

Update from lake: lens does not pop out and they are not plastic.
Glass! And it shattered! I have inspected this fixture
closely and to be truthful, I do not see any easy way to pop
the lens off
So today I will attempt to remove the other lens. I figure
it will shatter as well. So once home it'll be a trip to
Home Depot for some plastic lens covers and I'll make
my own lenses that will in fact pop out!!!!
I sure love the pleasures of boat ownership!!!!
I might suggest not going with a plastic lens if the original was glass and you are putting the Halogen back in.
Most likely the reason it was glass is if the hot bulb were to come loose and fall out, it could start a fire and the glass lens would contain the hot bulb. I do not think plastic would give you the same safety factor, or it might just discolor and bubble up, no idea.
OTOH, would be no problem if you replaced with LED as they do not get hot to the touch at all. You could scorch your skin on a hot G4 bulb which was OEM on my boat.
sorry you broke it, you must have a newer and different fixture than mine. Mine pop off quite easily as mentioned before by others.
Those look the same as the lights in my cabin. As the prior post says, the entire fixture comes out. Some are tighter than others, but they all drop out. Better off using your fingers to avoid tearing the liner on the ceiling. Get a finger under an edge and pull down. Once one side of the fixture starts coming down you can move your finger around the top until the entire fixture drops from the ceiling. There are two wings that will flip down hard as you get the fixture out of the ceiling, so watch your fingers. Once you get it out, you will realize how simple they are to pull out, but it takes one or two to get the hang of it. They go back in a lot easier than they come out. Once the fixture is hanging from ceiling, you twist off the back if the fixture to get to the bulb. Good timing, since I just figured this out on my boat tonight.
Good luck..
As much pulling and turning and yanking and twisting and.......... I did on that fixture one would think it would have shown some little indication of moving!!!!!
I'll look at it the next time I'm at the boat, but I am not fretting any longer. The Admiral read all this morning and gave me that "I told you they pulled out" look! My reply to her was, and if I listened and tore the headliner, you'd have been pi$$ed!!!!
Ugh!
Again thanks to all that gave input. This forum is a valuable wealth of knowledge and sure is a great resource.
