2006 Gulfstream 232 Spreader Lights

[Bmarlin22]

I am rewiring my aft spreader lights. I would like to change them to white/blue. As everyone knows the spreader lights switch is on the dome switch underneath the top electronics box along with the helm station light. One question is can the rubber push button light that turns on the spreader lights be used to work with a white/blue light? If I remember correctly you push it in sequence to change colors and then turn off. I’m thinking I should maybe just rewire the new spreader lights light to a new switch. Another question is can that dome light still available? While I’m at it I would like to replace that also. Any input on what everyone has done will be greatly appreciated.

Courtesy light is no longer available. I have kept mine "alive" by rebuilding it. Look at post #14 in this thread. Switches are available from DigiKey. Light assembly sometime show up on eBay. I bought a few and reworked one to replace my original one. Plastic was the same but had to add second switch. There are alternatitives but becomes a science project because holes and wiring don't match up. I'm happy with my OEM setup and try to keep things that way.

I switched to LED spreader lights a few years ago. Lower current drain is much easier on the switch. Mine are single color white. Also...

Thank you for the reply. Not sure what I’m going to do just yet. Might try to see if I can retire to the existing “accessory” rocker switch if it will handle the voltage of the new LED light and just leave it white. I would then leave the rubber push button on the dome light unwired.
