Greetings!

I'm pretty sure they'll fit, but has anyone taken the LED and the lens from a 6PL and moved them to a 6PD? Any issues?

Also, the 6P bezels fit the Z2, correct?
 
All C/P/Z series lights have interchangeable bezels. In fact, except for the 6PD, the Bezels for black C2/3, 6/9P, and Z2 lights (even new G2 LEDs) are all the exact same bezel. The 6PL just comes with a P60L module that will fit any of those lights. I had no idea the 6PD did not have a glass bezel since all of those other lights do now (well, its pyrex I think, but still pretty much like glass).

From what I know about Surefires(not much), they should work. The LED module in the 6PL is made to fit all P60 accepting lights. Aren't the 6P and Z2 both C body lights? So the 6Phead should fit on the Z2 body.

There are also brighter(the LED is driven harder) drop-ins for P60 accepting lights, thread here.

:welcome:
 
Thanks. I'm completely OCD about having OEM stuff. I don't mind mixing Surefire parts, but that's about it.

I'd like to build a Z2 with a 6PD bezel, 6PL light, and Z49 tailcap.

Thanks again!
 
Sure all of those will work fine together. You are gong to have a tough time getting all of those parts without buying a Z2, 6PD, and 6P LED though. Of course, you could just buy all three and sell the spare parts on BST. The going prices for the parts is not too bad. You will have a hard time getting the Z2 body and 6PD bezel on BST, which is why I think you might have to buy all three lights to do what you want.

**EDIT** Actually, you could buy a Z2, 6PD, and P60L module and have everything. Then sell the 6PD body, and Z2 bezel and tailcap, and 2 P60's and you are set.

Yeah, I think I'm going to offload some rarely used lights, including some 9N's, rechargeable Mags, and others to finance this one....

Thanks for the info!

According to Surefire's website the 6PD does have a pyrex glass.

While your at it, I'd also recommend getting a brighter drop-in for the light. The current gen LED in the Surefire(a Seoul P4 U-bin) and other ones can be up to 3x brighter if pushed harder. Surefire made the P60L more runtime oriented. You can have the P60L as a backup/at a time when you need more runtime. (the above will depend on your uses, maybe you don't need 150+ lumen output)

You might be able to sell the other parts here for a decent price.

I just got a 6PD bezel today, and it works fine with the P60L module. My BOG super premium drop-in is much brighter but, I like the P60L runtime. Each has it's uses.
 
I'm not overly concerned with runtime. I mean, that's why we have spare batteries, right?

I'll put things together and see how it works. I have the tailcap en route, and will likely pick some of the other parts today.
