Finally today I got on some of my projects. I put two 6x Cree Q5 units from DX in two Mags.
First, I put a DX drop-in in my 4D Mag.
I had to modify them a little.
I had to take off a little aluminum on the middle heatsink fin so it would sit down in the head lower.
It fits very snug into the throat of the battery tube. This also helps dissipate heat from the drop-in. After some use, the Mag head becomes slightly warmer, so I know it's working.

Here is my modified T8 screwdriver.

I did the same to a red 2D Mag also.

I'll have to get beamshots later with the 4D, It seems like it's brighter then my black 2D Mag.
All went well with these mods.
My next project will be getting my aspheric Mag led upgraded to the cree led, but I have to wait for my heatsink to get here.
I'd like to hear what you think of these!
