Hey, how do you get the fixture off to replace the bulb? What type of bulb does it take? Appreciate the help before I break something trying to get it off. Paul H S/V Linda Belle 95 H26

Pablo, The light covers on my H-26 are a 'three tab' insert type. Basically the lens cover has three small tabs around the ring that slide into three small slits in the fixture itself. I used a small screw driver to 'pop' the cover off - when one tab comes the others follow. Putting it on is pretty much the reverse - get at least one tab in and the 'smack' it home (well, not too hard, you know?) I don't have the exact light numbers on me, sorry. Take one out and take it with you (of course) and go to an autoparts store - they are the same kind of lights used in dashboards, etc. and a lot less expensive than West Marine's 'marine grade' bulbs. I couldn't see a difference in make/quality but you do have to watch the watts since the auto lights come in all varieties. Dave Crowley s/v Wind Dreamer
