G&P scorpion LED conversion

[Lolaralph]

Does anyone know how to easily convert a scorpion to LED, I know DX has several WF 500 compatible drop ins but will they fit the scorpion. I also found that G&P offers the complete head from the LED version but I can't find anyone who sells it and G&P only wholesales. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Take some pictures of it next to a ruler, and I'll see what I can make of it.

Edit: make that pictures of it disassembled. From the pics I found, it looks like an easy enough mod to do, as long I can find a reflector. There's also the option of a multi-die setup with XP-G emitters and some TIR optics.

The WF500 is a clone of the G&P scorpion, I would imagine the DX 5x Cree will drop right in, beef up contact to the body is required, otherwise it'll burn out.

I bought a DX Dropin for the WF500 for my G&P Scorpion R500 through the marketplace and unfortunatelly it didn´t fit. I don´t know if that´s the case with all different version though.

I am surprised, I am getting one that I'll put into mag,
it'll need some grinding to fit I am sure.

thanks for the advice all, unfortunately I won't be able to post pics, the camera is not cooperating. I thought the ultrafire WF was a direct clone as well, but I have found threads where people claim that those drop ins will not work in the scorpion. The lower part of the relector is too wide to fit into the head. I saw on DX that most of their drop ins list the spring diam. as 26mm, the scorpion is 21mm. I'm really interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully converted one to LED
