As I am working on the leading edges of the wings, I can't help but 

think this is a good time to install landing lights.  I think I want HID 

lights.  Van's catalog shows 50W HIDs for $250.  Duckworks in addition 

to their "low cost" 50 W for the same price (and also a "low cost" 35W) 

show a Philips 35W D1S for $370.  What lights are people putting on 

airplanes?

I've got the D1S as they're less noisy electrically.

But you really don't have to decide on the bulb type until

later. It would be nice to cut the hole early on, but

you can figure the bulb stuff anytime.

go with the 50 watt. You can NEVER get too much light.

I installed the Ds1 35W bulbs in each leading edge and the 55w HID's in each wingtip.  I guess the DS1 bulbs have the igniter at the base of the bulb taking away a lot of interference noise.  I believe Duckworks website explains this better.
