    520VX Led Navigation Lights for Bow

    Looking to replace my red and green pole navigation light on the bow with led red and green strip lights above the rub rail or possibly in the rub rail. Any recommendations on brands or placement? Thanks in advance.

    I put the ones from the newer Rangers on my 05' 519VX, looked and worked nicely.

    I tried the stick on strips first, but the clear turned milky after a while. Switched to the strips from Bass Pro and they look much much better.

    I have been looking at doing this to my 07 but my question is how far back to install them.

    I put these on my 2000 518vx: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    So far I'm very happy with them.

    I have the Blue Water ones on my boat. They have been on there about four years and the covering is yellowing and falling off, which is interesting because the boat does not sit outside at all. The lights still work. Lifetime warranty supposedly, but i have not called to try and get them replace yet.

    I got them at BPS, but they don't show them now. Very similar one's on Amazon
