I'm looking for a couple of dimensions from the  "standard" duckworks landing light kit, and hope someone can help me  out.

  

 First, what is the overall width of the cutout in  the leading edge?

  

 Second, what is the overall height of the cutout in  the leading edge? (Note, I need the height of the opening in a wing, not the  template dimension).

  

 Third, I need the height of the aluminum backing  plate for the light.

  

 You ask why?  I'm scouring the web for a cheap  HID upgrade that'll fit without too much work.

  

 Thanks in advance...

Hey Kyle...  Are you talking about the  rectangular lights that go in the leading edge of the wings??

  

 I am working on an HID replacement for those  lights...  Drop me a line...

I have a paper template on the wall from my 6 that I'm going to use on the 6A I'm building.   The hole is 4 3/4   wide by 5 1/4 inches tall.   I measured 4 1/2 inches from the edge of the skin at the wing tip inboard to the   outside of the hole.    It's 18 3/4 inches forward from the skin edge to the top of the hole. The plate is whatever fits between the end rib and the first one inboard.   I have one angled down and one angled forward on my taildragger but I'll put just one in the 6A   aimed forward.   Hope that helps.

Hi Kyle,  

As the maker of the Duckworks Landing Lights, I just wanted to pass along that I have and do make any portions of my kits available to those who need an install ‘for their own lamp/reflector’.  

   

I can provide the whole kit minus the light, which would give you instructions, templates, lens, hardware, etc., or, any sub-parts.  

I know that sometimes a guy just wants to use ‘something else’, so I do what I can to minimize that effort for you.  

   

In addition, I’m happy to help you come-up with a mounting solution for your lamp, or at least be a sounding board for your ideas, to assist you.  

   

Finally, we do offer 3 versions of the kits, the 55w halogen original, a 100w Round PAR-36 Halogen, and the Round PAR-36 HID/Xenon.  

Our HID uses the top of the line Phillips Bulb and Ballast in the D1S format.  

   

Each of the round lamps are available as upgrades to my (and other) kit installations, and install very easily, using the original mounting holes, in just a few minutes.  

   

Just wanted to make sure you all knew about the options and that I am more than happy to help in any way I can.  

   

Keep building, it’s worth it!

Now that’s customer service!   Don was also very flexible and helpful when I was installing my Duckworks lights.
