I modded a 6D with a bid d bulb and also tried modding it using 8aa's with the 6d magnum star bulb. Here are the results:

the 8aa star vs the 6aa big D looks to be similar, but the spill on the big d is so high I think the camera automatically darkened everything a little more. Still you can see the 6aa vs the 8aa is a lot dimmer.
I found that a penny works well to make a contact by jamming it into the spring.
