  14. Thank you @carusoam , I have attached the wingtip photo. This is slightly outdated as I have since had the Whelen LED strobe/nav light combination installed. --Alex
  15. James - thank you for your posts. I am excited to see that Whelen just came out with the LED replacement for the wingtip recognition lights. All - I have the newer wingtips on my 1979 M20K, but my airplane doesn't currently have the recognition lights. I would really like to add them as I find it always challenging to see the taxiway edges at a lot of the airports and believe these will be helpful for both recognition as well as when taxiing on the ground. They should be able to be fitted into the standard Mooney Wingtip that I have, right? Is there a piece of housing or other hardware that can be purchased? Has anyone done that? Any insights that I can share with my mechanic? I presume there is a way to wire them with a three-way switch that would have 1) ON steady 2) Wig-wag 3) OFF positions? Anyone familiar with such a device that would work with these LED lights? I appreciate any insights from those who have done this or are planning to do this. Thanks. --Alex
