I don't know if this is the kit you are referring to, I believe there is
one available that moves the landing light to the wing.
The vibration of the cowling breaks the hot filament/kills the landing
lights.

thx! I also got an offline email about a halogen replacement with a
longer life, and one they think is more resistant to vibration.
Appreciate the info.

Of course, the big improvement would be filament-less lamps;
aka gas-discharge. Someone here will know the name.....

I think you're talking about HID (High Intensity Discharge). That's what
in the annoying blue-ish headlights that have been showing up on cars the
past bunch of years.
