Wing Tip and light module ID?

those are vans original 415 "flat top" tips. they were the orginal tip for the 4 and 6. there were a couple of other used as time passed. those will fit the 4,6,7, and 8. I have no idea why they changed the design, i don't know if the newer tips are any faster or better performing, or if they just wanted a different look. I prefer that tip to the others and have them on my RV-4.

if i remember correctly, the light insert was an option that was available from vans. I don't think they made it, but it could be bought from them. the only problem with them is the lenses may be difficult to find if you ever need a replacement. there were various lenses made by different people available, including vans. most are real hard to find now.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. If I can get the proper lens for the tips, I'll probably try some Fly LEDs with these. As mentioned I like the looks but don't want to paint myself into a corner and not be able to get parts in the future. Thanks again.
