Hi Valin What hid lights are you planning? What is your timetable?
I am working on something and may be able to have an extra set of lenses made. No use both of us making forms. Ron jones has some, but they are too small for me.
I am attempting to use the aero led small land lights. Also I plan to have rear tip lenses and mount the rear strobe &nav (both wings) there.
Aveo engenering is selling an led strobe and is working on a tail strobe nav. Aero led is also working on a surface mount led strobe nav.
I hope to be able to use a led strobe.

Hey LML gang,
I’d
really like to have our Legacy’s landing lights in the wing, rather than
just mounted on the landing gear, for the significant collision avoidance
mitigation it provides – according to USAF studies. The easiest
place to put them is in the Legacy’s stub wing section because the shape there
is so simple and there’s plenty of space. The problem I have with
that location is that it will be very difficult to do it so cleanly that it
doesn’t trip turbulent flow very early along the chord of this laminar
flow wing -- with significant drag increase...
So, I’d
really like to get our landing lights in the wing tips. I’ve finally
found some nice, low profile HID lights that are small enough to fit in the
Legacy’s wing tips. The biggest challenge is the thermo-forming of
the clear acrylic lens with the more complex shape of the wing tips…
I really don’t
wan’t to add yet another mod development to our Legacy project. Has
anyone else already done this for landing lights in the Legacy’s wing
tips? Does anyone know of a shop with reasonable prices for forming
acrylic like this?
Thanks,
Valin
