Wiring is all finished but new harnesses had to be ordered from Fast Stack, that will take a couple months so it's time to do the rudder block AD and replace the nylon ones with some beautifully machined ones from another SeaRey builder. Fortunately, all I had to do was disconnect the two side braces, loosen the bolts on the bottom tubes, and undo the front bulkhead mounting screws.
My HiD lights were something that always bothered me, if you turned them off they needed a cooldown period before you could restart them, and they sucked electrons. The guys next door put 2x 200w 5000k lights in their hangar and I was impressed, so I ordered 4x of the 200w 4000k lights and reflectors.

I'll never use them enough to make up the for cost vs the HiDs, but one of the HiDs was going bad and needed to be replaced, so it had to be done.
The light is... different. I got more sideways light off the HiDs that
bounced off the upper corners of the hangar, but the light from these
are "cleaner", if that makes any sense. I probably should have ordered the frosted reflectors, there's a bit of glare from the clear plastic reflectors, and they're bright as hell if you happen to look up at them, but if I didn't know there was an option I'd be happy with these. If I have an opportunity I might take down the bottom lens and hit it with a light coat of spray paint to take the edge off.
