Has anybody replaced lights on their gen1 SR 22?
Any good suggestions for the wing tip replacements?
Just did these on my G1. https://aviationvibes.com/collections/lights The Wheelen Orion from Jim Barker
Easy to install and top notch instructions. The adaptor harness from Jim is the way to go.

Yes. The Whelen Orions are MUCH better. Easy to install. Only takes a few hours tops. You also get like 2 pounds of useful load back because the power supply for the old lights comes out.

My hangar is a really tight fit. When comparing the Whelen Orion’s to the Pulsar 600s, I went with the Pulsars because they’re slightly lower profile: https://aeroleds.com/products/pulsar-600-led-forward-tail-position-anti-collision-wingtip-light?srsltid=AfmBOopNv6Qb15wijN-8xyV6N5tD5CyoDN7q8j3FU2wjamhGBZRW4rjl
do these bypass the original ballast, one of ours has gone bad and this whole kit is almost the cost of the ballast itself
The LED lights do not require the ballast, it is removed.
