Darn...  I didn't think about that.  I guess I'll switch back to the sealed beam then.

I noticed that there is a trim ring around the bulb that I'm certain needs to come out, but I've heard that you may have to remove the right side cowling to get to the light as well.  Any helpful advice?

On my 69 F, you would have to pull the right side cowling to access the wiring.

After 6 months with the Whelen LED Par 46 landing light, I have determined that it was and is a very good investment. Electrical draw is now negligible on all the systerm because every light on the aircraft is LED. The only protential problem was one Jolie Lucas had and that was a slight"fogging" of the left bottom corner after being on for an extended length of time. I talked to 2 engineers at Whelen, and being in electronics all my life, I was curious if this "condensation" would affect the life of a very expensove bulb. One engineer said to remove the 3 screws that hold the lens to the bulb and then run the bulb for about 15 minutes. Another more recent call revealed that this "fogging" was a non issue. Only time will tell, but I willo say it is the best light for all round use that I have ever seen. Night is brighter and I can use it the whole flight if I so choose. All around good investment, especially for the decrease in load on the electrical system. Already had to take advantage of this when about 50 miles from home at night I experienced electrical failure. Alternator not charging. I always monitor system voltage and when it dropoped to 11.8 volts, I knew I had a problem. The low draw on my electrical system allowed me to keep most all electrics on until touchdow. Oh...field wire broke off. Easy fix. End of story....
