I'm not real sure where to post this but since it's in my -6a I figure this is the best place to start.
Yesterday I got stupid, (not the first time), and managed to drop my green position light lens on my concrete hangar floor. I can't print the words I said but you can imagine. Enough rambling, my question is if anyone has used replacement LED bulbs, and did you use the same lens, or did you use a clear lens? Currently, I have the Whelen 650 series with colored lenses and incandescent bulbs. I have been wanting to upgrade to LED lights but because of my airplane money going to my panel upgrade and fuel I have not done it yet. Now I either have to replace the lens on one side or do an upgrade now. IMO a clear lens or colored lens on a colored LED should make no difference but The parts house seems to think that I can not use a clear lens.
Thoughts?
