Cody Stallings Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Fooling with my metal mistress tonight in the hanger, kicked the lights on just to double check all points an noticed I had a light out. But the other was burning just fine. But that’s a Problem. Little sucker felt like it was on fire. The fiberglass all around it was extremely hot too!! Anyone know of any replacement LED that would fit this installation? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB65E Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi Cody, not a genuine replacement But some have used these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Whelen-A508-14-A508-28-LED-Replacement-CREE-XP-E-10-30VDC-Aero-Lites-/332758645648 Aero-Lights web page doesn’t have the exact one pictured but I think it’s the same light I don’t have the requirement for that type of light in my airplane but I do have a few that I work in that require them. I’ve hunted some in auto parts stores,” pilot” makes One but it’s a blade style with no true trailing light. All were smokin bright!! I’ve seen the stock bulbs melt plastic! Dumb! There was thread on MS about the same lamps. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 There is a thread regarding the wing mounted tail light... and LEDs... I think @OSUAV8TER may be the keeper of LED ideas... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUAV8TER Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'm a Whelen LED dealer but unfortunately they do not have a product that will fit in that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 You can always take the old bulb to your local National Aviation Parts Association store and look for an LED that will fit . . . . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJClark Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Is there a fit problem with the lens? Or the same problem I had with my nav light lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sir, It fits fine if you remove the lens the right way. A heat gun does the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
