This. Very much, exactly what we observed tonight. Boat with masthead light is clearly visible at long distance. Boat with decklevel lights only when on top of the wave..

Try fitting a tricolor led bulb...even with age varying, the colors really shine through brightly

I put the Hella Combo light in, and replaced the supplied bulbs with LEDs. No complaints; works fine.

Pretty simple to use, some spray, a lick or two with fine grit sandpaper and an application of some or other solution.

Damn, if my head lights don't look like brand new again.

Product costs about $20, and easily available online or at most any auto store.

I'm 100% positive this would work on your tricolor light.

I watched a Youtube video of various similar products compared to each other and this was tops.
I am on the cusp of trying something similar on my compass 'dome'. Have heard about a Turtle Wax product, can't find it hereabouts, going to try an Autosol acrylic cleaner.

What sort of sea state was that in?

Q2? When motoring how high above the sea is your stern light?
