Hello. An RV I am looking at has never been ifr certified. The lighting might be dated. If one were to upgrade lights to the best and brightest, what products would you use? How much might a full change cost?
I’ve been very happy with Squadron Pro flush mount “spot” lights for both landing and taxi lights.Hello. An RV I am looking at has never been ifr certified. The lighting might be dated.

Good question. The Squadron Pros were easy to switch out through the opening for the existing lights, but I had brackets that I obtained from someone here.For each of these ideas, how much work is involved?
I might be able To get shared hangar space, but the guys working might not like stuff laying around everywhere.
i’m trying to get an idea of hiring out the work at brokers Shop vs diy back home
im not interested in jumping right into cutting in the plane…
the plane has ifr navigator.Good question. The Squadron Pros were easy to switch out through the opening for the existing lights, but I had brackets that I obtained from someone here.
If you’ve got working & legal (albeit dated) lights, and no easy place to work on the plane, I’d just keep what you have for now and tackle lighting when your own shop is set up. Getting it set up for IFR (presumably including installation of a certified GPS navigator) could prove to be a PITA.

Ah so it’s good to go for IFR already? That’s a major boon.the plane has ifr navigator.
no shop for maybe a year
A couple of pictures of my neighbor's RV-10. All exterior lighting is AeroLED's. Wingtips are the new carbon fiber AeroSun Vxi's, leading edge lights SunSpots. Very high quality components and as Walt said - excellent customer service and support.I use AeroLed's exclusively, TSO'd quality product and great company support.
They also look like real lights, not 'kit' lights.
Love the paint scheme on that 10!A couple of pictures of my neighbor's RV-10. All exterior lighting is AeroLED's. Wingtips are the new carbon fiber AeroSun Vxi's, leading edge lights SunSpots.
