I decided to get started on the wingtip landing lights tonight. I’m using the Van’s landing light kit which provides two 75W halogen bulbs in each wingtip (one each for taxi and landing). I may upgrade the landing lights to HID or LED lights if these don’t provide enough light and I do enough night flying to matter, but I don’t see any reason to do that before I’m flying.
First up is to trim extra material from the rear part of the bulb holders. Here you can see the extra material sticking out from around the front part of the bulb holders.
