im sure that someone out there has taken the switch assembly out of the minimag mine is about worn out and i cant get the wires to stay in anymore (even with a drop of epoxy) i would like to reconfigure the switch some how any suggestions (don't really want to spend money on a tail cap switch)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I don't know what you want to do.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>I you want to replace the bulb socket/switch then you will get the replacement parts and a special tool in some specialised shops.
<LI>If you only want to remove the old socket/switch you can remove (break it out) with a srewdriver.
<LI>If you intend to make a mod eg with white Nichia's then you will find an idea here in the
Minimag thread page 9 and a drawing of the whole thing here

This solutions works very fine. Main advandages are:
- more room in the head
- no wirings to the switch/bulb socket
- no other mechanical adaptations to bring the switch to work
I tried various solutions to bring the whole mechanical thing to work - that's the only good way I have found. And with this solution you won't have any problems with the adjustment of the LED - the stay adjusted.

Good luck!
