Replace the tail light with a certificated unit. If "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 ind 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. The list of mandatory changes required prior to original certification may be obtained from FAA, Washington, D.C.
