Need to find replacement plastic thingy at end of wing which shows navs/strobes

[McMooney]

Accidently broke my baby,

 where do I find the clear plastic pieces which go under the nav/strobes and show if they are working from the cockpit?

what are they called?

That is a piece of plexiglas.  Find the same thickness and make a new one.

Otherwise, Lowe's sells plexiglass in different thickness so you can roll your own.

I bought one from LASAR. Make sure you 9sitting down when asking the price, made me decide tomnot jjsg rrplace  ithnwhile i was doing it. 

Also, drill the bolt holes carefully so it doesn't crack . . . But you'll need to trim it to fit your wing first.

These little buggers? Never noticed them (not a lot of night flights):

I always liked these things, but never really got the point.  You preflight the airplane and check the lights.  If one goes out in flight, what are you going to do, land? Or continue?  If it doesn't change my decision to continue, why have them in the first place?

Are they not for wing tip position location while taxing at night? That's what I was told.

more drag if you ask me.

Step drill bits are a good alternative to special plexy drill bits

Regular bits work if they are sharp, but you need support under the drill bit to prevent it from cracking when the tip comes through the back side.

I thought about removing mine, but I do 1/3rd of my flying at night and the are relatively useful in judging distance to wingtip.

Use Lexan, not plexiglas.  Holds up better.  Can be bought locally.  Easy to make.

Make them a little larger and call them winglets.
