Skyport has a kit to install them in the wings. If I was installing landing 
lights I would go that way.

  Yes, Dan, I am confident.  I've done quite a bit of drag testing on Ercoupes.

    Hi Syd, 
    Are you confident that number - 8 MPH for two landing lights?  

    The reason I ask is that I put two landing lights on the main gear fairings 
of my Ercoupe (no shades) about 5 years ago and it didn't seem to make that big 
of a difference however; I didn't take before and after measurements.  

    I fly at night and also appreciate the visibility while flying here in very 
busy SoCal.

      Just a caution, Ed.  Each landing light assembly will cost you about 4 
mph.  Are you sure you want to do this?

        I found two old farings with landing lights in them but I think they 
        are too far gone to salvage. My existing farings are in great shape so 
        one idea was to obtain a pair of cylindrical sections that house the 
        lights and connect them to the farings already on the main gear. Does 
        anyone have a pair of these or perhaps the entire faring-light combo in 
        good shape that they would consider selling?
