10 Minute install, Much brighter than OEM with better beam width. Draws less power!

Install took 15 minutes for both wing mounted lights. Phillips screwdriver was the only tool required. Very Bright & modern look. Quality very noticeable. Aviation Product approvals put my mind at ease for low risk of a wing fire compared to less cost automotive products. WAT: great tech support on the phone prior to my purchase at A.C. Spruce thank you, it made the difference. In future a rebate for a complete light upgrade or package pricing might be a nice idea to help GA owner operators upgrade. Happy customer !

Very happy with it. It comes with a gasket but it is not required to use it on some aircraft. Read your instructions. Easy install.
