Yea little lights on a big boat. Not so much. I was wrong earlier. I was thinking they had the small old style not the larger ones.My bad. But it looks plain without anything.

Yeah, it doesn’t look right without lights. How well do the new style leds light up?
Seriously, I would have more lumens with a pair of scented candles from Bath & Body Works.

My boat is the first one I've owned with docking lights and I love them, although mine are the older large style and I recently replaced the original halogen bulbs with super bright LEDs. Our ramp is dark at night and the docks at Havasu we used over the new year were pretty dark too, having docking lights helped a lot. Probably would have been fine with a handheld too though.

They can see mine from the international space station😂...Well, the new LED lights may be small, but they GOT to be an improvement.
Seriously, there are LED replacement bulbs available for the large lights like mine. I just never use them to make the effort to convert..

I ordered a set of LED bulbs that Thunder has. It has to help, my docking lights light up almost as good as Tuscanys picture.

So you guys think it's better to call and add the docking lights? Looks better with the small ones than naked?

The new lights are less than half of the price of the old ones. No brainer.

The little lights kind of lose that signature look on the R, but something is better than nothing at all.
