Some of the lights on my 280 ss are out while the others are looking sad. I'd like to make some upgrades and replace every light on this thing with LED. ANyone done something like this? I know it should be straightforward, but I'd sill like to ask if there are things I'll need to consider
 
This i just learned from a friend. you may want to consider that the LEDs that you're going to install are marine grade which are rated for outdoor or wet use and designed to withstand salt spray and UV exposure. Look for IP ratings like IP67 or IP68
 
Thats a good call. Just make sure to double check your boat's wiring and make sure the LEDs are marine rated to avoid flickering or corrosion issues. Also, confirm the new bulbs fit right. Other than that, youre good to go!
