As I recall, the three emitters on the Rebel star are wired in series. Correct?

What host are you using? If it previous drove a single emitter, the driver probably can't supply the voltage for three. There are other drivers that can, though.

Did you have to open up the reflector at all? I'm curious to see how the three Rebels focus.

wow nice it finally got posted im a total noob and dont have the proper driver but let me post some pics to see if it helps anyone help me

well it seems that all the pictures messed up the focus here lol you have to scroll way over to post replies, i didnt have to open up anything but it seems like i had tto sink the reflector down a little deeper onto the emmiters because the single led is taller a little bit and this one left like an 8th inch air gap

Welcome to CPF, Mystic98802.

I've stacked your photos vertically for you, which saves all the horizontal scrolling. What you need to do when posting pics is to put a line break between them.
