Wing mounted landing/taxi lights on earlier J.

[PTK]

Has anyone removed the landing light from the front cowl and replaced it with the wing mounted landing/taxi lights as on later J's?  Apparently Mooney (Bill Wheat) says a lot of people have done it and it requires field approval by the Friendly AA. It's straight forward because the wing is the same and the parts are applicable.  If so please advise as to field approval difficulties. Thanks.

Did not remove from nose just added to the left wing only. At 2500 per wing its not cheap but well worth it. I was constantly replacing the bulbs in the nose. Had the bulb filaments break on final and landed dark  more than once. Never burned out a wing bulb in 5 years. Had it done when the Rocket was painted 10+ years ago. Paper work was part of the job.
