Nav.light bulb

[Vader809]

The bulb on bow lights burned out. I checked online and the price is almost the same as buying a new unit. Anyone know where I can get one cheaper than $ 26.00?Thanks.

What kind of bulb is it?

I have places small LED's in the housings before. That may be a cheaper option for you.

It's a Perko festoon,double end contacts shaped like two bullets end to end.

Take the bulb with you to a local auto parts store, I would check NAPA first, maybe they have one that will match. Also maybe radio shack.
Sometime you can get one to work that is a hair longer or shorter than the original.
I don't remember what it was, but I had something that I couldn't find the correct size bulb like you are talking about, but did find one that was close enough to work.

All the Radio Shacks in my area have closed their doors, but I will try the auto parts.Thanks
