Steve

once you cut the canopy it will pull down to the roll bar real easy.  No 
need to over do trying to fit it tight before splitting.  It won't work. 
You'll be surprised how well it fits after you take the plunge and split it.

Hello All,

I don't know how many of you have seen it, but Duckworks (and Vans) are
now selling  HID lighting for taxi/landing lights.  I am debating if
this is a worthwhile purchase.  They want about $450 per light or $380
for an upgrade kit (per light) to go to HID from the standard Halogen.
The HID lights are round rather than rectangular.  They also offer the
Halogen lights in round.  What do you guys think.  I have seen the HID
lights on cars and they are very bright (for only 35 watts), but don't
know if it would be worth it for airplane activity.  I want to decide
soon before I make the cut out in the leading edge.

Thanks in advance!
