I'll second this suggestion. I rented a C172 a couple years ago to fly to Minnesota. I didn't "bother" to check the landing light before I left. (Stupid, stupid, stupid!!) Mostly because I didn't think of it but also because I figured I'd be back long before night fall. You know what the say about "the best laid plans of mice and men"? Well I didn't get back until almost midnight. And, you guessed it, the light was not working when I reached home. I managed to get it down without any trouble but, being as this was only my second night time flight, I was concerned. Fortunately it was a pretty bright night out.

Once it burns out, you may not have enough fuel to stay airborne until dawn.
