Does anyone know if they make a Combined taxi & landing light replacement for PA28? if not, what do you think is the best replacement light for a PA28-140 1972?

    I replaced mine with the Whelen drop in LED light. Much mroe expensive but the illumination improvment is worth every penny (plus the 10k hour life helps)

    Do you tend to use it for both taxing and Landings and takeoffs? I was kind of seeing if there was a low beam taxi light combined with a high beam landing light.

    I don't think I have ever seen a low beam/high beam configuration, my Archer of course has no dimmer switch. I agree with the Whelen solution an have installed one of the LEDs on the 181.

    you must be careful on putting an unapproved landing light in a Cherokee 140 with the light in the air cleaner. Check the STC for application. since there was a AD in place most bulb mfrs have shyed away from that particular installation

    Thank you for the heads up. That would be a great invention wouldn't :) combined taxi/landing light, kind of like a low/high beam in a car.

    Here is the PA28 AD for changing the mount of the landing light to be on a riveted bracket rather than directly on the filter: AD 96-10-01 R1

    I think as long as you've complied with that AD (which you should have by now) then you should be fine to do the Whelen bulb installation as a part of owner performed maintenance and just a logbook entry.
