Michelle is correct, it could be anything. Probably a loose wire though. I
had the panel lights go out on me (on the ground) and I felt around behind
the dimmer pot via under the panel for obvioulsy loose wires. I was able to
find it and my A&P fixed the problem accordingly. YMMV, it could be
something entirely different.

A ton of things could be wrong. A broken wire for beginners and a fried
dimming transistor for another.

Couldn't be the bulb since all of them don't light up (unless they're
connected in series). Probably not the switch either since the wingtip
Nav
lights come on. Should it be checked by a mechanic or Avionics shop or if
it
is something trivial, maybe I can do it myself. Appreciate any input from
the group.
