Yup all you bargain hunters with dead batterys rejoice!!!
I found a 12 volt map light and hacked it into a nifty anchorlight

Just took it apart. there were little tiny wires with a resister on one of them.
unscrewed my anchor light lens drilled a small hole inserted the flexable end in and hooked it up to a toggle. presto!
tried it out last night and looks just a bright as all the other boats with leds
Still have the original bulb in there for backup too :)
The map light is great as well it lights up the floor so I dont trip on the dog!! :p
