I'm looking for some advice where to buy blue LED lights for the rear of my boat.

Any recommendations where to buy them or installation tips.

Pic below is a similar light set up from Chicago boat show.

TIA

You are looking for Abyss lights or similar.
 
Not sure the difference.
 
I bought all of my lights from West Marine. Have blue underwater LEDs in the stern as well.

Did they do the installation too, how much should I expect to pay?
 
The underwater lights were ~$300 each. The interior LED lights were pretty cheap ~$20 each. Not sure how much the light installation was because they did a lot of installation work. But would guess $200-$300 to install all of the lights.
 
Do you have any pics of this installed on your boat?
I just took them now. It's dark outside. Close up is hanging off the swim platform.

How does that mount to the boat? That's what has me puzzled, it looks like it somehow screws into the existing drain plug, is that correct? It looks like a REALLY nice and easy mod though. I wish the website showed the backside of the light as well, to me, the pics are really just duplicates of each other.

Good Lord, I'm a moron! :rolleyes: I didn't page down at all, seemed like a single-page listing. Coulda just watched the video and answered my own question
 
No worries...remove 3 screws from existing drain plug and which will line up with the holes in the light fixture. Piece of cake.
 
Plenty of photos there.

That variety of light terrifies me. Just looks like a big hook ready to catch on something and yank out your plug.
 
How do you wire this up? New to this lifestyle and would like to do this to my 2019 212x
It's really not that hard to install. With this particular light, you remove the 3 crews from your current drain and replace with this unit. I wire it directly to an accessory rocker switch at the helm. Not much to it really. There are videos on their site to help with any questions.
