1975 M20F Converting to Landing Light Rocker Switch

[hphillips]

I have a 1975 M20F and was hopeful to convert the push button landing light on top of the throttle to a rocker switch located with the other rocker switches as I have empty space for it. Has anyone done this? Have no real way of knowing if the light is on or not…

Thanks in advance!

I have a 75 C. The first annunciation light next to the N number light indicates the light is on. My light switch in the throttle went bad. My local avionics shop took care it in less than a hour. I believe all 75 models have the (New Dimension)panel. You can test the bulb by pushing the annunciation test light. It may just be the bulb. I’m sorry for replying with info you probably already know … anyway to move the switch should not be difficult at all.

The arrow is pointing at the landing light indicator in my 75C - sorry it is a bit blurry

Thanks for the feedback and photo. That particular indicator is missing and haven’t been able to locate a replacement. It definitely would be easier if I could…

Check in with your favorite avionics shop and ask…

Adding an LED would be easy if you wanted to have a sign of it working…

Best regards,

Mine used to be intermittent. I recently had some avionics work done and the shop when they put it back together fixed it. 1975 F

The landing light has a separate breaker and relay. You should be able to move to the free opening you have. The Piper rocker switches (which are not breakers) can be used.

Is the light assembly missing?

Yes it is. At this moment, I’m set to have a rocker switch installed which I would prefer. Thanks for your help.
