DA40 Lights

Here they are, in all their puny glory. The ultra-dim taxi and landing lights, courtesy of the engineers at Diamond Aircraft. Seriously, guys...I know that the leading edge is rather skinny....but couldn't you mount something more powerful on the nose cowling? Apparently, the DA40 was only meant to be landed on brilliantly lit runways at night. I don't think that I would ever be tempted to land on a grass strip with these wal-mart flashlight excuses for lights. Okay. I'm off my soapbox now. The DA40 is a great plane, great avionics, handling, performance, etc.....just needs better lights.
