If you are happy with the risks for you and your family and want to
save a few bucks, have at it. It may help my business. I may be the
guy on the witness stand testifying for the insurance company. You
may be the guy that killed the next guy that bought your aircraft,
sitting behind the other table, getting ready to answer the tough
questions about your expertise in determining a part's airworthiness
you picked up at NAPA.

It's important to note that there are NAPA auto parts, and there are
NAPA airplane parts. The landing light I purchased at NAPA *is* an
"aircraft landing light" -- it's not an automotive equivalent.

This is worlds away from (for example) buying a Chrysler alternator at
NAPA, and installing it in my plane.
