Brief Description: Fitting the landing spot lights , left wing

Forgot to take pics of the work over the recent few days, time spent forming the leading edge opening & lens cover for the landing light assembly. Also spent nearly a day trying to find suitable compression springs for mounting the LED spots. Whilst I took a pretty fair guess at the angle of the mounting plate, I still wanted to be able to adjust the direction, both up & down and also in & out from the aircraft heading. These lite weight lights are mighty powerful with very little current draw after startup. (less than 2 amps). No doubt time will tell if I made a good choice.
