Final Approach
Aircraft - 1970 PA-28-140
Problem - burnt out tail position light which came apart when removed (glass separated from metal) but I got it out.
Piper part number - 753431 GE 1073/1141 depending on where you look
Would LIKE to replace with LED but don't want to pay $200 + for entire assembly. The LED bulbs sold on Spruce all have "experimental only" warning. (rant portion) Tried to replace with locally purchased LED bulb but there is a flange on the bulb where the metal meets the LED portion which prevents inserting the bulb all the way into the socket in order to twist and lock in place.
Anyone had this same problem and have an LED solution rather than just replacing with same inferior glass bulb?
