That’s very impressive. I almost wish I hadn’t cut my leading edges for the Duckworks lights!

You could use one set for taxi and the other for landing.  In combination you can start a nuclear reaction. J

Yes, but NOT going into the wingtips still gives a little better
coverage pattern, and more NAV/Anti-Collision light options.
But, these sure make the Van's standard halogen lights
worthless in comparison. At least with these you have plenty
of light. What you don't want is a narrow focused beam, you
want brightness and coverage across the front of the plane.

I looked at the vendor website and the picture of the stock Vans looks suspicious. My stock Vans lights look far, far better than shown. I would judge the Vans option as barely adequate.

Depending on what Duckworks option you have, they may have a solutions
already, Their website say's they have a replacement for the 4" lights.

I am not sure what wattage bulbs Vans supplies. Mine were 55w; checked them when removed. Whatever they were, they significantly heated the exterior of the tip even with the protective aluminum foil installed.

Deems,
You are correct, we recently added 35w and 50w 'Low Cost' replacement HID
lights (see our 'Upgrades' page).
We have the MR-16 2" HID lights for the Tips in both wattages.
We also have GE-H3 style HID lights that are simple, direct replacements for
the Halogen bulbs in our lights.

These lights work very well, in fact Joe Blank just installed a couple in
his old RMD style wing tips using my PAR-36 Reflectors with the Low Cost 35W
HID. He reported back that he has now lifted his self-imposed 'ban' on
night landings at his home strip, since the 4" HID lights work so well.

Remember, if you want a 'long' beam that will light up the runway when you
turn final, a 4" light will outperform a 2" light, it's simple math.

But if you do have the MR-16 tip lights, the HID is far 'brighter', cooler,
uses less power, and doesn't burn out, making the HID version a great
upgrade.

OH, and we have finally joined the modern world - we just enabled Credit
Card processing on our website, on the 'Upgrades' page initially.
