We have a Nordic Tug 32, built in 2006/7. One of the running lights is out. I want to replace the bulb, but I don't know the brand or model, and there is no screw to take of the plastic translucent plastic over. Does anyone know the make/model, and how to get the clear portion of the light off. Thank you for your help. Tom Krahn Diana B / NT32-285 / Barrington RI

Tom, I have 32-289. Is it your white light at the top of the mast or the red / green navigation lights on the side of the pilothouse? If the former, and looks like the attached, I replaced the globe, since it was cloudy, and the bulb. The globe has threads and just screws onto the base.

Where on the housing (top/bottom/.right/left does one put the screwdriver under the lens housing?

If it is a Hella 3562 fixture, there is a spring loaded push button on the bottom side of the fixture. With this button pushed in you can pull/rotate the bottom of the lens outward towards you, which then frees the top of lens from the internal tabs that are securing it in place. This video is for a stern light fixture, but the method is the same. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aN4BewUYqdI&ved=2ahUKEwixyu-8mtiVAxUiGVkFHVqYG3AQwqsBegQIGxAB&usg=AOvVaw1Gi1XlxnD5MMbcU6ux0GBe Steve Paul Penny-wise NT37-203 828 Casterline Rd.
