The EIKO bulbs are a cheap way to get your docking lights working. At $20 each, they won't break the bank for a light that rarely gets used.

They are an exact size and connection replacement. 

LEDs are great if you want a $400 refit!

I got the Eiko and when installing it discovered my dead bulb had lost a wire. Should have done my due diligence but now I have a spare. I only use mine a few times a year so holding off on the $400 upgrade to LED.

Pretty good price for the Tiger lights on Amazon Prime.  Still pricey but I was super impressed with the quality of construction and they are super bright.

Ok, I decided to be cheap and try Amazon 4x6 led headlights. Mounting is easy  >:(  wrung the head off of 6/8 on the left side. Ended up redrilling the plates and using new self tapping metal screws. I wired to the high beam lead and used heatshrink on the connections.

These are many times brighter than the old incandescent bulbs.

The Tigerlights are on sale at Amazon right now for $61.20.  That is a much lower price than I paid last year.
Very nice quality replacement for the original Halogens which draw a ton of amperage and these are much brighter.

Lots to choose from at Temu. Check the number of lights you receive as many come with four. With a small piece of aluminum, the smaller lights could also fit nicely. These are the same as many use for backup lights. We buy many items from Temu and always get fast delivery. https://www.temu.com/search_result.html?search_key=rectangular%20driving%20lights&search_method=user&refer_page_el_sn=200010&srch_enter_source=top_search_entrance_10023&_x_sessn_id=fjit3dg6xl&refer_page_name=region&refer_page_id=10023_1734624328301_hed59c3p2s&refer_page_sn=10023

Check the 20V battery (Dewalt clone) powered impacts for coach lug nuts.
