Is it a festoon type bulb?
Im not sure. I see its a single point bulb and it snaps into place. only one hot connection. the ground for it is the entire fixture. only place it gets a ground is through the metal housing it snaps into. Its a bulb but in order to snap into the housing its gotta be about 1 inch in diameter or close. its gonna be fat. I just cant find any that look close. I have searched online and I may be looking at it but Im not sure. All the bulbs were missing when I got the boat. I have nothing to go on.
From tip to tip measure it in millimeters and then type festoon and whatever MM it is into amazon and it'll pull up. If you do not have a set of calipers to measure then I will measure tomorrow when I get home.
When I look at the festoon bulbs they have two connecting ends. The bulb in mine only touches on one end. That's whats confusing me. I wish I could put pics on here but I cant figure it out. Its a weird looking housing. The festoon bulbs are 2 point bulbs mine will be a single point.Originally Posted by ssuvette

I'd go to the Basscat website and order new ones.

I have a 98 203 and you will be best served by installing Bluewater LED lighting strips in the compartments. Very easy to do, not expensive, and you will be amazed how much more light you will have. I guarantee you that you will not regret it. I have them in the center box and the two rod lockers. Love them. Also put them on the trailer and the illumination from those is outstanding.
Have to agree with this. If you don't get Bluewater there are a myriad of other options that are economical , easy to install , and will actually produce adequate light. In my 08 210 the lights in my compartmentswork, but man are they lame. Some day I'm gonna yank em and install some real lights.
GETFISHED !!!
Also, I will add that all you have to do is use the wiring for your current locker lights. So very easy install.
