| Post subject: | Replacing halogen cabin light bulbs with LED bulbs |
I have been looking for a source for 2 pin bulbs to replace the 12v halogen cabin bulbs in my Vista. I want to go LED to reduce the amount of power used for lighting. The bulb I have is the Osram 64415 Halogen Bipin. Any ideas on sources? |

That is a 12V 10W halogen with a G4 base. Any bulb with a G4 base should work fine. Here is an example http://www.ledlight.com/g4-super-flux-4-led-light-12-volt-ac-dc.aspx. They sell it in a "warm" version. That is the biggest complaint I've heard about converting the cabin lights to LED. The LED light is "harsh" compared to the halogen. |

I had to reply to your post. Last year I installed (plates of 10 leds) in to each dome light. The results; It is way to dark. But it uses no electricity at all |

Has anyone looked into changing the cockpit lighting on the arch? The 2009's FW's have gone to a multi colored light which I have seen in a lot of larger yachts and really add's a nice look at night. I have found the white light harsh and would like to have both a blue to match the LED's and also red for light while under way. My guess is that it would most likely require additional wires for the muli-color. |

These are the ones I used in the cabin and cockpit areas. They are available with the pins on the side or back (you'll need some of each). http://www.ecovantageenergy.com/catalog ... em1117.htm They are blueish white, almost too bright and power consumption is next to zero. |
