Re: PA-30 Nose Gear Taxi Light
complaints with the fit and that you have to persuade the parts to install.
The only negative thing I have is that the light covers the red turn limit marks. Meaning even more vigilance with the line guys at other airports.

Re: PA-30 Nose Gear Taxi Light
I installed the Knots nose gear landing light... and have a few pics. I did have to modify (mine has the LED light bulb) with a dremel. There were some other bends etc that had to be accommodated. Also, if one of the brackets is incorrectly mounted upside down, it is impossible to mount and the bracket is not clearly identified. I flew back to Knots (they are 30 miles from me) ... and they helped me figure it out... some of the fastners that were originally supplied were too short too.
Now that I've spent about 4 hours installing it.. I like it.
Any one else like photos... please respond to the above.
All the best!

Re: PA-30 Nose Gear Taxi Light
Several years ago (after almost running my PA39 off a taxiway on a dark, rainy night), I hired a Designated Engineering Representative to design a nose gear mounted taxi light for me based on one designed by Hans Neubert. Attached is a photoa of my installation just after approval (via a 337). I have since swapped the incandescent lamp for a Whelen Parmetheus PLED2T LED taxi lamp. The Knots 2 U version is MUCH less expensive than what I paid. If it had been available, I would have bought one in a heartbeat.
P.S. Get the Parmetheus lamp.
