Arch Lights Tri-Color to Quad-Color

[Jeg]

I needed to replace one of the arch lights on my 2010 45. Obviously not available now, so I ordered 4 Quad color (Antigua Stainless Polish) form DRSA as they are the replacements, fit perfectly, with one exception. Old lights are 4 wires new lights 2 wire (red and Black), so the existing panel switch does not work the new lights, I need a simple on/of switch at the panel. I've emailed Formula regarding this, just curious if anyone has replaced the old lights (4 wire) with the new 2 wire lights? I also would like the switch to match the other panel switches.

I'm curious if you made any headway on this? I was going to do the same thing as I had one out. The existing 4 wire and new 2 wire setup confused me but I realized I just had a blown fuse on the light that was out. Now I'm considering swapping out my arch lights to a shadow-caster down light that will sync with some other lights that I installed. Is there a brain or controller for those lights? There isn't any information in the book on these lights.

I have ordered a new switch from Formula for the lights, a simple on/off switch. It's described as a 4 pin switch as oppose to the current switch which is a 5 pin switch. When the switch comes in I'll revisit this project and post an update. I'm still confused on the wiring, due to my lack of knowledge on electrical wiring so I may need a marine electrician. I was hoping folks on this forum may have tackled this before and provide insight.
