Therefore I'd say the lights belong into the >cowling. I didn't had any service manual when I started and announced the c172p-update and it seems I did not informed myself enough about the c172-history for the update. But I used a a bunch of images as reference. Look here: http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/6/4/3/2081346.jpg http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cessna-172P-Skyhawk/2076182/L/&sid=40c47e6e201184197341cb50f65a74cd And according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_172): The C172P.model was introduced 1981, but 1982 "the landing lights moved from the nose to the wing to increase bulb life" Maybe that's why I was mistaken. We can change now the light to the cowl to match 1981's version, or easier rename the model to the 1982's version.
