How to replace docking lights?
I have a 2010 fuzion 322TE. One docking light is out. I can get the unit out of the body, but cannot see how to get to the bulb. Anyone else try to replace a bulb. Please share how to do this.

On my Cougar, the docking light is a sealed unit and the "bulb" (it's LED) can't be changed out. The entire unit needs to be replaced. No idea on the cost as it's "hopefully" going to last the 50,000 hours it's advertised to last.

I have 4 lights in the front of my Fuzion. One small one right above the king pin. 2 round ones on each side in the lower part of the cap, and one LED strip up high on the cap between the clearance lights.
On my Fuzion I have replaced the 2 round lights in the middle of the cap with LED's. If thats the light you are talking about you just have to remove the metal trim ring, by turning it counter clockwise. Then you can get your fingers on the glass lens and also turn that counter clockwise exposing the bulb. If its easier after you remove the trim ring you can remove the 3 screws and take the whole light assembly out of the cap and twist off the glass lens then.

Docking light replacement
I to am looking at replacing the docking lights, as it looks like there is 8 LED 'bulbs', but only 3 work on one, and 5 on the other fixture. Then I also don't really use the docking lights, so debate about even worrying about it?

We've a kind of strip of LEDs that are supposed to help, but are pretty much useless. I use a Cree flashlight & open the power rear window if I need to.

Make sure you test the fixture first before discarding it. On my rig, I had exterior lights go out because mice chewed one conductor, the fixture itself was OK.
