I bought these bow lights for my 1981 C&C 34 last fall: https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?name=whitecap-led-side-lights-flush-mount&path=-1|65136|2312550|2312557&id=2650416
They are a drop in replacement fixture for the original in-hull bow running lights on my boat but sealed with LEDs. I have yet to actually install them but did hold it up against the existing lights and it is the same shape, size and screw locations. Seem well built out of stainless and glass. On the list of spring projects. I have the mast down this winter and plan to add a tricolor to the top as well. The relay idea for automatic operation of the steaming light is a really good one - I might have to give that a shot when I wire everything back together. - - Nathan Post S/V Wisper 1981 C&C 34CB Lynn, MA > On Feb 5, 2020, at 12:23 AM, Donald Kern via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > Shawn, > Where did you get the bulb holders for the original hull "eye" lights?
