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.
