Bow & Stern LED Lighting for small boat

Im looking for a high quality bow & stern battery LED lighting for my 15ft boat.

Any leads of what Im looking for?

I pulled the stern (white) light from my dad's bigger boat (26ft Sea Ray w/ a Ford 460) and it looked like a standard automotive bulb. It had the round metal base with 2 solder blobs on the bottom.

A search at http://www.DealExtreme.com (DX) turned up some cool things:

The bulb I'm ordering is:

The fiberglass rolls over on the sides, creating a pocket where wires are run. I'm considering using flexible, cuttable light strips for interior lighting by placing them in that pocket:

I'll keep you updated it I ever get my order, and if I ever get it installed.

USCG Approved lighting devices. This is NOT the place for DIY.

Ahhh... you are not on a local lake where they only want to see something lit up. I've seen the local park rangers take a flashlight as an OK boat light.

You asked for high quality, so here is CG approved LED lighting.

Overkill for most 15' boats. I use a bike light for my canoe, which only requires a white stern light in Canada.

I know this is an older post, but I'm looking to build something similar for my kayak.
