2015 AR240 Bow Light Replacement

[Jonathan Pisarczyk]

Hello Everyone,

Just thought I would post on a bow light issue I had with my 2015 AR240. I hope this can help someone else. I replaced my OEM Bow light with a new LED assembly. The OEM light design is terrible. The bulb can easily slide out of position. I also noticed on the new 2018 model they now use the same Attwood LED model I purchased on Amazon. The holes basically line up. I had to make the holes a little larger with a drill bit. I couldn't find a white LED replacement. However the new stainless steel/black design looks better than I thought.

Any special tools needed for this replacement ?

Nope. Just a Phillips screw driver; very quick install and it works great.

Just cut the wires and use some electrical tape to piece together with the new connection.
