I had a busy week this week installing all of the above. Now you can see me at night, and I can see you! These Hella 1900 Optilux Driving Spot lights are AWESOME. 100 Watts, so they ar elike offroad high beams.

I will take some pictures of them soon.

I had to pull of my side rails to run all the wires, but glad I did it the right way!

Well, yes and no. A while back I broke off the Anchor light from the Bimini top, so a month ago I bought another one from Pontoonstuff.com ($14) So I replaced that, but the real problem was the front LED nav lights. Here are the pictures of the new ones. I hope they hold up better than the old PERKO light bulb kind. Those just kept getting water in them and frying.

These were spendy! About $50.00 each.

Here is a picture of the HELLA 1900 OPTLUX lights I added. Let me tell you, they work awesome! They really help out if you are running down a dark creek or inlet and you just want to make sure you are clear ahead of you. I am hoping they don't rust out too bad!

Nice set up on the lights, i want to mount "running" and "docking" lights on mine and this gave me some great ideas. On another forum one post said that using the head lights (for lack of a better description) while underway was illegal and could result is a ticket. Do you know if that is the law in Texas??

Yes, you are correct, when you are underway you can only display your nav lights unless you are actively searching for something and would not interfere with the navagation of any other vessel. IE: you are allowed to use a search light or spot light.

So yes, if you drove around all night with them you could get a ticket. But with these lights, you would only want to turn them on for a few seconds so you can see the shore, or the sides of the bank, or the dock for a second and then turn them off.

Because they are SUPER bright. But they work great. I left the smaller 55watt lights on, and pointed them out to the side so that I could have some side light to see the banks and docks instead of just straight ahead.

Good luck, and take pictures.
