I am not the do it your self type so I have been talking to my audio delears who now carries the LED under water lights. He says I need 2 pairs mounted low on each side of the outdrive. His brand is Shadow-Caster. The Shadow-Caster comes in 2 shades of blue, red, green and a white. The white and the bimini blue will be the brightest, followed by the Ultra blue (almost purple) green then red. The 10-LED units run $1100 for a pair installed, the 6-LED run $900 for a pair installed and the 4-LED run $825.00 for a pair installed.
I am leaning toward the bimimi blue 10-LED. Has anyone done this?

Yes. I went with the Lumitec Seablaze3 in blue. Probably my favorite upgrade yet. If you night swim especially in clear water you will love it!

I've seen them at night and they are awesome!

What are you trying to see in that clear water at night? :-)

great for night swimming! My buddy Frank has those on his Malibu. The womens don't feel afraid to jump in the water at night when it's lit up.



It's also great for attracting squid!

OK, the Sea Blaze has 8 LED lights and it does look good. How much did you pay for 2 sets of 8 lights? Did you install yourself and if so, how much more to have the dealer install them?

They look great, but too pricey for me!
