Perk #70-0 LED Bulb?

[Strecker25]

Hey all, I want to swap the bulbs in the Perko fixtures on our 98 290DA. I know I could swap the entire fixture for a nicer unit, but theyre pricey so in the meantime I want to buy some cheap LED bulbs as stand ins. I looked at the back of the fixture and it says #70-0. Is that a festoon bulb? Does anyone know the length? I can measure the bulb tomorrow but was hoping to order a few today

Thanks
Ryan

I had the 70-0 festoon lamps in my Perko cockpit lights as well. They are 42 mm end-to-end. I replaced them with a 37 MM cool white LED part number MCF376BS30DCW. They are not marine grade, and not the right size, but they look great and were only $1.50 each from newark.

Replaced mine with ones from superbrightleds.com.
worked great. Size listed above is correct. Original bulbs are about 100 lumens, so watch for low output cheap led bulbs.

Thank you both. I'm going to grab some from superbrightleds today
