Does anyone know where I can find a replacement lens for my arch lights and cockpit courtesy lights? Perko

and any idea what the size of this festoon bulb is? Measures 1 1/2 inch. 38mm? 36mm? 44mm?? I'm looking to replace with LED and for the life of me I can't find the info in any of the numerous threads on the subject.

Not sure about the lens, but look on ebay and search for 42mm festoon led and you will find tons of the bulbs. Did my whole boat in led last spring and love it.
 
I have the same arch lights and mine were in about the same shape as yours....I decided to try and clean them up before replacing....the lens actually came very clean with repeated washings with glass cleaner and a good automotive 'cleaner wax' which is mildly abrasive but will not scratch the lens....the metal ring was too far gone to bring back to an original luster due to pitting in the surface....I took some medium grit sandpaper and sanded the surface of the rings smooth....then I painted them satin black to match my canvas color....they actually turned out really nice IMO....then I installed two very inexpensive color changing LED bulbs.....this gives the cockpit a little different look as the colors change and they draw very little DC power.....

I need a replacement ring and lens as well. Might try cleaning again.
 
Before ordering, you might try looking on the IMTRA site. They make a fixture that fits the Perko cut out but is rated for 20w. The difference in light output with 20w bulbs is pretty astounding.
 
Todd I may have what you need here. Give me a couple of days please.
