HID conversion kit $25-35
I have been running these on my Polaris RZR for over a year trouble free. I had another landing light blow on my RV6 and decided to make the change to HIDs there and on the RV8a as well. The H3 bulbs fit the Duckworks reflectors on the RV8A. The 6 has standard aircraft bulbs but I had some reflectors from offroad cases that fit. Ductworks sells PAR82 reflector/bulb holders if you need them.
Lifetime warrantee. 35w- $25 55w-$35 I used 5000k bulbs for purer white. 3000k(yellow)-12000k(purple) available. Can't beat the price.

HID conversion....
So did you do the conversion on your planes yet? Any pictures? Have you flown them? Can these be wig-waged? These look really cool....and the price is right too!
Sorry for the 20 questions

Just ordered the ones for the planes. Mounted the reflector for the light that blew and running a halogen until they get here.
Wig wags are a no-go. HIDs take a seccond or two to warm up. They are so bright they don't need to flash. People will see you.

It looks like you have to specify make/model car for the order. What did you put in to get the kit to fit the duckworks lamps?

I thought I read somewhere you could wig-wag them if allowed to warm up for a period first?

Any HID kit with an H3 bulb will fit the Duckworks reflector. If your checking out the site listed select H3 for the bulb type.

Do these cheap HID conversions cause any radio/intercom interference? I see Duckworks offers what looks like the same thing for much more $$. Are theirs any less likely to cause noise issues?
I am also interested in knowing if the cheap ones can be wig wagged. Duckworks state that theirs can if you allow a warm up period before wigwagg is turned on...

how is it mounted in the wingtip
Which reflectors are you using? Do you have a pic of how it is mounted in the wing tip?
