Post your Yamaha 190, 192 Lighting Upgrade Pics!

I would consider mine a soft glow. It can also be dimmed. I would avoid cheapo dimmers, mine fried some lights up, it was a lot of work to fix it.

Love it. 1 question @JerryG , @swatski , is it a soft glow at night or is it a bright glow? In every picture I see LEDs seem to be crazy bright and I want a soft glow.

Its a soft glow. I agree, didn't want anything too bright. I will post a few more pics this afternoon.

I like the led rings on the speakers, do you just splice them right into the speaker wire ?

Where do you get speaker rings?

I just copied what y'all did in this thread. Ordered the same LEDs and wire from Amazon. Came out looking awesome and not too bright for cruising around in the dark. Thanks for the ideas.

Sorry guys, missed these posts!
I can't find it now, bought the LED rings on ebay, were like $40-50 each, not terribly cheap and kind of a pain to install. Have them wired on the same circuit as cockpit LEDs thorough tower harness.

I know it's been a while since you posted these pictures but what lights did you use for the underwater transom lighting?

 

[giroux68]

has anyone used electroluminescent wire? I havery a little experience with it . flexible like a speaker wire. bright. dimmable. the downside is it has a hair thin wire to inside to work with.

its been awhile since ive been on here. The under water lights I got from amazon. Nothing special. I think they called them marine under water lights.

@DBamaC - I used your excellent guide to start my lights tonight. So Far I just did the bow. I need to get some different wire connectors and shrink tubing before I finish. All connected to the courtesy light switch.

I need to do this over the winter. I've seen @DBamaC's and @Bill D boats at night and they look sweet with the lighting.

I almost bought some LED strips while at Walmart today. They were like $29 for two strips though for the extra bright ones. They had some for $17 that were not as bright. How long did your install take @DBamaC ?

 

[Eric Ballard]

i got the cheaper ones since i didn't want super bright. For me the time consuming part was collecting all the wiring pieces and connectors. This can easily be done in 1 day.

I used these. Most are white, but some look blue. Buy a few extras and test them first so they match.

Also added this dimmer.

Me and Lindz did it in a few hours. I used her little hands and arms in a couple of the tighter spaces. She's probably come give you a hand if you want her to.

I think I spent around $50 for everything I bought (lights, wire, waterproof connectors and a blue courtesy light to replace the factory light by the throttle).

Working on all the cockpit LED's today. I'm doing 6 in the cockpit and 2 on the swim deck. It's hot as hell but so far I got the bow knocked out. I'm glad I did not do the 5050 LED's in the cockpit as those would be way too bright for me and affect my night vision. I will put the super bright 5050's on the swim deck vents. Loving the look!
