Hi otisroy, that's some good prices! Which ones did you purchase?

When you install your new bulbs, let us know how they work and if you can get some pictures, that would be great too.

    I ended up getting a pair of the H7604's. I didn't know what was in there until I read your post about the clear lenses vs the ribbed lenses. I replaced the light that was out so now I have one spot and one flood. When I read the bulb specs I opted for the 100,000 candlepower spot instead of the 15,000 candlepower flood. If I ever I have cause to use them, it'll be to navigate and stay off the sand so having the spotlights should be helpful. Maybe over the weekend of the 4th when the moon is a little brighter I'll take her out and see if I chose wisely. If not, I'll be ordering another H7614.

    I'd like to get ahold of a set of stainless housings, but not to the tune of ~ $600.

    Getting the bulb itself out was a PITA being recessed into the rubber housing so deeply. I'll replace the other one when the kids aren't standing there in their bathing suits staring at me waiting to take the boat out. I'll have my wife take a couple pics while I pull the other bulb out and curse Poseiden.

    I replaced the second bulb with another H7604 and they're really bright. We were on the water Saturday night for the fireworks at the lake . It was really nice having the lights. I'll get some pics when the weather is a little calmer. It started whitecapping five minutes before I got back to the ramp. Go figure.
