HID Lighting

I did this in the wingtips of my seneca.

Fantastic.

You won't regret going hid. I am thinking about putting hid's on my nose
gear in place of the two landing lights.

Has anyone installed Xevision HID lighting on their airplane under a 337
approval? How do you like it? Any issues getting approval? I landed my
Helio in the dark yesterday which worked out OK but I would prefer a
reliable landing light!

Don't think about too long. With winter and it's related shorter days,
you'll appreciate it.

Like yours, I'll have to take a serious look at wingtip lights, too. I have
the LoPresti, but tip lights would be a nice addition.

Were these STC's installations, or did you need to get a field approval?
I've been waiting six months for the STC to get signed by the FAA regional
office in Chicago. Since the wing lights are the same for a lot of already
approved Beech products, it is amazing how long it is taking them to sign
the paperwork (for a Baron).

If the field approval wasn't too bad, I may decide to go that route rather
than wait for the STC.

How long has GAMI been waiting for the STC for their PRISM system, three,
four years now?

I installed the RMD HID kits (same as those sold by Knots2U I believe)
under a field approval on my Skylane a couple of years ago.

It was not difficult at all to secure said approval, using the existing
STC as the basis for the approval. The STC is for installing these kids
on their wingtips, I wanted to install them on the bose bowl to replace
the 4509's that burnt out so easily.

I couldn't be more pleased with the results. They use 1/3 of the power
of a 4509 and they put out a very bright, very white light. I installed
the kits myself, with inspection, approval and 337 submission by an
owner friendly A&P/IA.
