Narrative:

Aircraft X ferried in with a left gear light indication with gear up. Upon arrival at the hangar; we pulled it in and went to work on it. It had a maintenance visit 2 laptop and navigation data update and a few other things for service. I reviewed the logbook. I saw the item on the gear pins and needing an airworthiness release; so I knew the items were there. We fixed the gear light problem and maintenance visit 2; but we had a lot of problems due to a bad card loading the laptop. We had to replace the right fixed landing light at the last min. By this time we were getting close to gate time. I just flat overlooked the remaining 2 items. I knew they were there; but didn't think of them at that time. I did put the airworthiness release on the item page.
