Brief Description:  Duckworks 50w HID Taxi Light - Part 1

I installed another Duckworks 50w HID light in the left wing that will be positioned for Taxi. The installation came out as nice as the one in the right wing, maybe a tad better. Really, though, they both came out perfect. The amount of light from these HID lights is simply unbelievable. Having both the left and right lights on at the same time will be an incredible amount of light. The VP-200 system will allow me to configure the Landing and Taxi lights for "wig-wag" operation. In wig-wag mode, they will flash back and forth. This is typically used on approach to landing so that other aircraft can see you coming in and avoid them taxing out in front of you to take off.

Again, Duckworks makes an A++ product and I highly recommend them!
