I tried to use my strobes last week and my RH wing strobe didn't work. I wasn't under them impression that they just stop working like that. My strobes probably have less than 5 hours of total use on them. They are right next to my landing light. Can they get too hot?

Is there a direct replacement with a cheaper option? I don't really want to buy a replacement for $158 and have it fail again. I have posted a pic below of my setup.

Thoughts or help appreciated.

Thanks

Time for some troubleshooting.
What strobe pack configuration do you have. Single or Dual.
Simplest way to test them is to swap light with a known working one, or swap packs if you have a dual pack. If a single pack, its unlikely that one side had failed. If a single pack, you can swap connectors and see if the problem continues. Swapping lights around will also help diagnose the problem. Landing light near by not a likely culprit. The strobe light is replaceable at a much cheaper cost if its the bulb. Also thats not an A625.
 
I hadn't thought about exchanging the right side for the left side. That makes absolute sense. I figured the bulb was the most likely culprit. The wiring does sound like it could be a suspect. I installed a wingtip antenna last year and to be honest, I just don't use the strobes much. I do not know it it is a single pack or dual pack. This is what I pulled out of the wingtip. The connector plus is just barely out of reach without taking off the wingtip.
