If you are going with 3rd party wing tips, delete the following from the wing kit:
- W-1015-L (left tip)

FB thread on wiring up the rear lights to the connector
When installing per Van's instructions, it is important to rig the ailerons before to ensure alignment with the trailing edge of the wing tip (note: elevator position influences aileron slightly).
The Zip Tips are not as flexible as Van's and getting them to match can be challenge. There is a note in the RV-14 manual using a ratchet strap that I found helpful.
If you have received Vans part W-1016, it will show you the amount of "bending" you will have to give the wingtip. Below is a picture comparing W-1016 to the insert that comes with the Zip Tips.

A tail light is not needed when using Zip Tips. 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.
