Roswell Lightbar LED

[KG's Supra24]

Has anyone replaced the courtesty lights in the roswell light bar. I'm referring to the lights that shine down into the boat. I would like to change these out for red ones to match the boat but not sure how big of a project we are talking.

I talked to Scott at Roswell and he hooked me up with replacement blue ones. I had about 3 or 4 LED's in each side stop working. Did not ask about changing colors.

I called and spoke with Roswell a week or 2 ago and was told that they did not offer any color other than Blue. Since you have been sent replacements, can you tell me what kind of LED's they use? I had two trains of thought, one was that the LED's were the style used on dash guages and would be soldered to a circuit board. If thats the case, it would be a bit more work removing and replacing. My other thought was if it is in fact the above, just remove the board all together and stick a few strip led lights across the opening, and then put the "S" cover back over it.

BUT, it sounds like they use a differnt style led. So if the blue ones are simply replaced, it sounds like we may be able to just buy some reds and replace them.

The replacements were one piece that included new plastic, board, wire with connector. I will see if I can get a pic of the old ones tonight.

Awesome!!! It would be nice if i could find a way to easily change the color.

Thanks for the help Sluggo.

In relation to LEDs ... Matt Laird, i saw some of your install pics. How did you get the LEDs around your tweeters?

Kyle,

I tore into mine last year. It's very simple. I can walk you through it.

[KG's Supra24]

Hopefully it is easy to swap for red, Chad. You saying it should be doable? Lets get something in writing. I could see a lot of people wanting to do this mod. I want to do it to match the color of my boat.

[cmtaylor777]

It's no different than a standard led. We could cut a piece of thin wood to fit In the slot. Then mount the lights to that piece and mount the plastic cover to it. It's pretty simple.
When I got my bar, someone disconnected the lights inside it. I had to go back and reconnect them. It's just two wires. Would be simple.

[KG's Supra24]

Sounds easy enough Chad. I need to go out there and pull it apart. Or pull it off the tower so I can work in the heat!!

Why would they disconnect the light?

[cmtaylor777]

Not sure. I can see the bar was originally red. I am assuming it was the same one that Dusty has on his. ( Oh wait....not Dusty. He is "Boatless for now") Then they painted it white and painted over the lenses. I am assuming they disconnected the lights due to the heat on the paint. I stripped the paint off and reconnected the lights.

There are 2 set screws on top of the bar that hold the lights in. Loosen them and the lights drop out. Then you can disconnect the lens from the light itself. Then you can duplicate the light plate and reconnect the lens.

Shouldn't be hard for a country boy like yourself, but then again, you are from Arkansas.

^ Funny guy, huh? I will pull it apart and check it out. Seems simple enough. "How many guys does it take to change a light bulb .....". Ha.

I was wondering how you came about a white roswell bar. I'd never seen one. I like the white, looks clean.

[cmtaylor777]

Yea, I swapped one of those scooters I had for it. It worked out good. The white matches pretty good.

If your referring to the courtesy lights, they are pretty simple cut and splice, but you most likely will have to take the light bar down unless you have a shorty allen wrench. Screw (topside) preloads the light assy in place. The light assemblies are sealed units so changing boards isn't going to be an easy task.

OK..you mean a led on the inside of the speaker cover?? Walk all of us thru it and post some pics.

Another idea is to use the $3 superflux lights from oznium. Drill a hole in the bottom of each speaker can and flush mount the LED into it, facing down. Those lights are VERY bright and could be used as replacements for the others.

Here is a pic of the old one. The URL is still active, but looks like they concentrate on bikes these days. Looks like a pretty straight forward replacement if you can get the right LEDs.
