I hate the nav lights that came with my J/100. The days when they have
worked are less than 40% of the time I have tried to turn them on.

Does anyone have a fool proof plan for lights that work? Should I
replace mine with LEDs

I've been switching to LEDs and am extremely happy with them. You can
fix the wiring pretty easily as you're working. Quite likely, it's not
the wires but the socket, which you'll be getting rid of. You can even
replace the second most-usual problem, the quick disconnect. Solder and
shrink-wrap the connector, as the LEDs will likely outlive the boat.
