Type A-9 wing position lights (AN-3033-5 through -8) may be satisfactorily modified by painting the inside frosted portion of the cover black. Type A-9 (AN-3033-1 through -4) are satisfactory without modification. Replace the tail light with a certificated unit. "Bright and Dim" conditions are provided for the position lights, either the resistors should be disconnected from the circuits and a single-pole-single-throw switch should be used to replace the two single-pole-double-throw switches presently installed for wing-tip and tail lights, or the switches should be placarded to indicate that only the "bright condition' should be used. In either case the tail light and wing-tip lights should operate on one switch.
