When is it a good time to turn on your wing landing lights for landing? So far I've heard:
-coming down through 10,000 (youch, still doing 250kts, they vibrate like hell!)
-when extending the slats
- below 220 kts,
-cleared for the approach or cleared for landing
-some don't use them at all, they just use the Nose lights on BRIGHT.
Opinions?

p.s. I'm researching this out of curiosity. At AA we are discouraged from using these lights for fuel savings and "buffetting".
