You better believe it! Thanks. Its a bit hard to get from the pics, but just like the new models if you catch the ring from the side you can actually see right through to the black plastic. The light is forward biased.

Christmas magic? This project cant be done without opening it. I'll write everything when I'm done. Not to worry.

No bulb swap here, This is a complete Rework of the internal optics. Some of it involves irreversible modifications, and it's not a project for the faint of heart.

I was afraid of that lol! The results look great though, eagerly await your walk-through!

Your timing is great, I was just about to order LED bulbs when I chanced on this.
