They are called docking lights, and I know you can still get them. I have seen them advertised. I am sure you can find exact replacements with a search for docking lights.

I use mine at night and in the fog on my Whaler 27 and I have never gotten any complaints from other boaters about them. I use a couple of MUCH brighter LED lights on the Outrage 18 at night. I think it is important for me to be able to see clearly in order to navigate in a safe way for my passengers, as well as myself.

I once was in the water in the ICW with a really bad undertow for over 1hr and could not swim out of it. I was there as a result of a brother-in-law hitting a floating timber just below the surface with the lower unit of the boat motor. I was sitting in the bow seat with my back to the wind, and the force of the sudden stop actually broke the back of the seat I was in and sent me tumbling straight over the bow. I was pulled from the water and revived just before death and have now lived another 30 years.

Pardon me, but I will continue to use lights as I see fit to insure both my own and my passengers safety as I navigate. I do not boat in Michigan at all anymore, and I rarely boat in Florida, certainly not near Fort Myers so your "night vision" should be safe. I know my own "night vision" is VASTLY improved as a result of the lighting :)
