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.

Damn, how you do this? Did you open up the housings?

Is this a simple bulb swap or is it a more involved than that?

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.

Damn dude. Did you cut housing or bake the hell out of it. Yea can't wait for writeup.
