Grayhawk,

Thanks for the input...

Of course, your transition light is probably the un-testable kind from Lancair.  If I were making recommendations, I would suggest using the old fashioned (and expensive) push-to-test lights.

Mine is from Lancair, but does have a test function...the light works.

One of those pesky little
things you notice but then forget to ask about....how do I fix that?
Uhhhhh, nothing in aviation fixes itself (a rule I learned shortly after taking flying lesson in rented aircraft).

I hope I didn't insinuate I thought it would! LOL! I usually fly the overhead and when I throw the gear switch I then look outside...by the time I look back the gear are down. I will take that extra second to check the transition light from now on... 

Maybe the bulb is burned out, maybe the wire is burned out, maybe.....

Trust me, I'm gonna check it now...
 
Check the wiring diagram, it is in your POH ---- You were supplied with a POH weren't you? 

Of course...well, I purchased one prior to buying the aircraft.
