Hey Sellener, does the light assembly out on the wingtips look like the top assembly at this link?

I gotta admit, I think I spoke too soon. The more I look into PA-28 light installations, the less I know.
I've seen a whole bunch of different set-ups since your initial post while googling PA-28-181's.
Have attached another link to Whelen's catalog, the explanation of exterior lighting is similar, but a bit clearer I think than the above links I provided.
Safest bet for you, to make sure that plane has what it needs legally for night flight, ask your school to explain their plane's lighting setup. I worked at a place that had Cherokee Sixes a long time ago, all day VFR in AK, and they had different installations. Some had strobes, some did not.
Good luck!
