Well I'm in the process of switching over to LED bulbs for my overhead salon and galley lights on my 2001 400 DB. Due to the age of the boat and the brittleness of the light fixture from years of being over heated by those MEGA-HOT halogen bulbs, I keep breaking the small tabs that hold the springs on to keep the light flush with the ceiling. It seems that the PO had the same problem as almost every light seems to have at least one tab broken, and now I know why some of the lights never sat flush during my survey. I was getting quite frustrated
as I continued to damage almost every light I removed!!! Until I figured out I could repair all the light fixtures with a simple fix involving a half of a paper-clip...
