I bought a pair of automotive lights from EMPI, Inc. That seem to be very bright and will fit well. The question is how to dissipate the heat. They have 50 watt bulbs and that will generate a fair amount of temperature. I am tempted to build an aluminum mounting bracket that will screw to their aluminum housing, but I'm not sure how to attach that to the plastic wingtip. Anyone with any ideas? Should I be worried about the heat?
