      >I would like some feedback on this subject as it is one of the loose ends in planning
      my electrical system.  I have settled on AeroLED for the position lights/strobes,
      but am having difficulty sorting through all the landing/taxi light
      options.  Plan A would be to use LED lights in the tips, but I am not sure what
      all will or will not fit there.  Although I understand that leading edge lights
      are an easy installation, I would just prefer not to incur the additional
      work to do the leading edge cutouts.    Another question:   Given the landing
      attitude of the 8, are separate landing and taxi lights required?  Seems to
      me that maybe a combination of the right output and targeting angle could work
      using single light sources in each tip.

      I installed two Duckworks 50w HID lights, one in each wing tip; one angled for
      Taxi, one for Landing.  Installation was straightforward.  Brightness of the HID
      lights is amazing!  On final approach, I light the whole runway up!  Like landing
      during the day!  I highly recommend the Duckworks product; one in each
      wing.  I've got no question that I'm going to be able to make a safe landing with
      the amount and position of light I get from the installation.  And that's
      really what its all about.
      
      Here is a detailed installation log on my experience:

      There are 9 parts to the log, so be sure to click through all of the various pictures
