*A tail light is not needed if the wing tips have white rear position lights as on the Aveo Ziptips. See CFR title 14 volume 1 section 23.1385 (c): Rear position light. The rear position light must be a white light mounted as far aft as practicable on the tail '''or on each wing tip'''. | *A tail light is not needed if the wing tips have white rear position lights as on the Aveo Ziptips.
