Dear Friends, I have a 1988 Catalina 27. All of the lighting is old. Where can I get the right replacement LED's and are they now available for the anchor lights?

Yah, it is somewhat buried. I have it bookmarked for just such occasions.there is a table on the store page that has cross reference info on LED bulbs, but darned if I can find the link
Yep. I bought one on Ebay for 8 bucks and found the ends pointed rather than dimpled so there it sat on my dresser for a year. Then one day, I decide to try to modify it. The lightest tap with a hammer caused the ends to invert creating PERFECT dimples. Go figure.Biggest problem is finding an affordable led replacement for the reverse (concave ended) festoon in the aqua signal nav lights.
Jacktar, is this the right one? http://cruisingsolutions.com/product/navigation-light-44-mm-dimple-end-festoon-fs44d-30p/ Says it works for Aquasignal 25 series...Biggest problem is finding an affordable led replacement for the reverse (concave ended) festoon in the aqua signal nav lights.
I have similar. And I agree with Kloudie, it has to be warm white, otherwise the whiter (blue-er) light of a typical LED will make the red look too orange, and the green look too blue.I have been using this one for 5 years now in a bi-color bow light and a stern light:

Just make sure that you get the warm white color if using in a bi-color light. I know it is not "certified" for replacement in the Aquasignal 25, but it is actually brighter and renders the red/green as well as the original incandescent bulb.. uses tons less power..
