Rob,

You may not want 'fog' lights for your landing lights.  Generally you want a
rather tight beam spread, the opposite of most 'fog' lights.

I'm testing my choices with a 50amp battery charger in my back yard.  I use
a cessna bulb as my reference for beam width and brightness.  I've tried
QUITE A FEW auto assemblies and most don't come close to the cessna bulb.
I'm in the deep country, landing on DARK runways chock full of deer so good
lights are a must for me.

FWIW, I'm planning on putting my lights in the winglets.
