My Nav\/Strobe Lights arrived from Aircraft Spruce today. \u00a0I used the adaptor plate and gasket and installed them to the landing\/taxi light housing. \u00a0I hooked them up to the plane to verify everything works properly. \u00a0Holy shit these things are bright. \u00a0You can’t be looking anywhere near these things when the strobes go off; it is blinding.<\/p>\n
