REFLECTOR: Xenon HID landing light

[Christopher Martin]

John,

It does take a little work. The lamp will fit in the housing just like the
original but the nose wheel will hit it on retraction. I got this attached
information from John Dortch when I installed mine in January.

I can get you some pictures of my installation, if you like.
