Fuel tank vent was obstructed causing fuel starvation. 28-32-00 -FUEL VENTS The fuel tanks are vented from the outboard upper edge. This vent is routed outboard and is vented overboard through a NACA vent on lower wing surface, To check fuel tank vents: 1. Block entire fuel tank vent by slipping a short length of rubber hose over tube and projecting below 2. Remove fuel tank filler cap; blow gently into rubber hose. Air should be felt coming out of filler port. 3. If Stoppage is found, clear vent prior to flight since fuel starvation could result from vent stoppage, NOTE It is important that the fuel tank vent tube protrude only enough to be flush with lower wing skins. This was removed from the vent

That looks a lot like twisted safety wire. I believe the replacement wire is .050

So they didn't follow the SB. "Following any propeller strike complete disassembly and inspection of all rotating engine components is mandatory and must be accomplished prior to further operation." Unless it was discounted "a lot" I would steer clear

I believe that most of those type of issues may be due to bad grounds at the bulb socket.

It's still only a bulb, no modification to the aircraft performance. replacing an old with a new. Change the bulb and make a log book entry.

I tried to quote cctsurf but guess it didn't post.... I do have a question, why can't you just replace the bulb with a cross referenced bulb. we do the same thing for spark plugs, oil filters, wheel bearing. Guess all I'm saying is its the same part but different manufacture.
