Whelen rudder Nav light (permanent install)

So... I went to install my Tailbeacon yesterday figuring it would be a simple install... ah Murphy’s law.

I come to find out that the tail light in my application seams to be permanently installed in the rudder and the screws are inside the rudder fairing which makes the removal exceptionally difficult. I had to basically rip out the metal backing to see how to get to the wires.

Ha anyone hear of a permanent light install? Any experience on taking it out?

After sleeping on it, I think I will need to cut out the mounting bracket to allow for me to get to the wires and then cut and epoxy a faceplate/mounting bracket to install the new light. Best I can come up with at the moment.

Thanks,
D
 
Nevermind, I ended up fixing the issue with ripping out the light and making a plexiglass mounting base. Need to epoxy in and should be done.
