B) Within the next 25 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, either replace MS 25041-2 light indicator assembly with MS 25041-6 light indicator assembly or replace the dimming lens assembly of the MS 25041-2 light assembly with the non-dimming lens assembly from an MS 25041-6 light assembly. Any equivalent method of compliance must be submitted to and approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Central Region.
