It was very easy to change from twin halogen to LED. Here is a video of the finished project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Den_xrmvg Here are photos of the conversion process: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.936852706395588.1073741826.242181299196069&type=1&l=cfbf75df3d On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 6:55 PM, wrote: > Where did you mount the landing light?

I suppose that it would be possible to cram a small automotive LED light facing forward into the wing tip of a KIS aircraft and call it a landing light, but I don't think that any of the responders to your posting thought it was a good idea. I agree with them. Also forming a clear acrylic lens for the light in the forward end of the wing tip would not be easy. 2) "Didn't know what tool to use to cut into the wing?" a) Draw a rectangle on the leading edge of the wing at the proper location and the proper size for your intended landing light. b) Use a step-drill bit to drill one hole of the appropriate size at each corner of the rectangle so that the corners of the hole will be rounded and not a sharp 90 degrees. c) Use a 32 teeth per inch hacksaw blade held either in a gloved hand or vice grip pliers to saw out the rectangle. d) Clean up the results as needed with sandpaper on a stick or a smoothing file. OC ============================================ Thanks Bill! Didn't know what tool to use to cut into the wing? I know you can't use a jig saw. I also just had the plane repainted.
