Narrative:

In route; upon landing; 2 gear lights inoperative. Since my destination airport tower was closed I asked to a low pass at a nearby airport to verify gear extension. Continued to fly and did a manual gear extension and still 2 lights inoperative. I declared an emergency and landed at that airport as a precaution. Checked gear and departed to my destination and landed safely.
