AeroLED landing lights for RV-7

I'm thinking of installing a microsun taxi light in one wingtip and a Sunray plus landing light in the other. It looks like there's a mount available for the Sunray plus but not for the Microsun. Does anyone know if there's anything available to facilitate installation of the Microsun? Any photos?
 
Here are some photos posted on VAF:

Here is info on the mounting hardware:

Just for some further info on the mount Kelley made for the sun ray... (the one Dean is refering to). The compression springs can be obtained through Vans & normally come in the RV-10 landing light kit. They are in harware bag 635 of that kit. The contents of that hardware bag are below (I've highlighted the spring part number). I hope this helps anyone else looking to mount SunBeam or alike light in the tip. Like I mentioned, for the square frame SunBeams I'm using a 3 piont swash plate (adjustable mount) set on these compression springs. When I'm done, I'll try to remember to post pictures here and share all the other info with Dean.

I am slow stewing over what to do on landing/taxi lights. Please do post your installation and results. This is quite interesting! Nice collection of pictures.
Thanks
