K landing lights

Bought a pair of PAR-36 LED lamps from CSOBeech.  But, they don’t fit in the cutouts in the cowl.  Will send a note to Mike letting him know so he can note it on his site if he chooses.  Don’t think I want to open up the mount in the cowl to make it work.

Anybody know of a commercially available lamp that fits in the cowl?  Not interested in paying the Whelen tax or a discussion on whether or not it needs to be “approved.”

The lights you bought are probably exactly PAR36 size. Unfortunately some cut-outs or even retaining rings were made to fit GE lights which are slightly smaller than true PAR36. On the new lights you may need to take a little material off of the circumference (sand a little off of the edge). It won't affect the light at all and will allow you to put it in the opening.

Lance-thanks for the tip.  Guess I’ll bust out the Dremel.
