Rob,

I put mine in the "fat" part of the wingtipwhich put them just behind the
wiring channel as it exits the wingtip rib.  I made access panels slightly
larger than the lights and mounted the lights to those.  That way I can get
my hand inside the wingtip in order to be able to do such things as repair
or pull more wires through the wing channel or other such things that I
don't know about right now.  I decided to permanently mount the wingtips
onto the wing which is another reason why I made the panel.....for access
into the wingtip.  The one problem that I haven't solved yet is:  The
wingtips are by no means flat.  So, the access panels have a slight curve in
them.  The lights are large enough so that they don't mount flush with the
wingtip surface, whether you have an access panel or not.  The result is
that I need a gasket or filler between the light and the wingtip.  I have no
idea what type of material to use.  I've thought about some type of gasket
or door sealer or just plain silicone.  Any suggestions from anyone would be
appreciated.
