Brian,

Normally the gear fairing lights are installed on each gear giving
(theoretically) a landing light and a taxi light depending on how they are
aimed.

The wing lights can be installed as a single light kit on one side, single
light kits on both sides or there is a different kit for a dual light on
one
side.  I have the dual in-wing on one side kit on my 415C.  If aimed
correctly you get a taxi and a landing light but I have not found it that
easy to aim them radically differently.  I have mine wired to a three
position (center off) switch so only one can be on at a time (they drink
current and I have a small generator).  They come with 100W incandescent
bulbs but there is a 50W halogen (4050 maybe?) that gives the same light
output but at 1/2 the current (note that the light stc may not be legal
with
the halogen bulb - you may need to convince your FSDO to accept a 337).

The in-wing lights are a fairly big project (one rib needs to be cut
partially away) and will be much more expensive in time to install vs the
fairing lights.  I installed mine a long time ago so I do not have current
pricing.
