this kinda thing,i am not sure that there are any available for the E2D. Basically its a heatsink in the shape of the lamp assembly found in Surefire Lights, and a LED and Circuit connected to it. It is possible to make one from a broken lamp assembly, i am trying to make one for my C2..

Saw some of these kicking around somewhere - someone here had put together one as a personal project, and had a ***kton of the towers milled from aluminum stock. They may have actually made some complete modules for sale, but if you can track them down - maybe on mods or on LED flashlights? - you could get the heat sink, at least.
That's probably the hardest part anyway.

kola was making some with the Rebel LED until I mentioned they were on recall. But they still got some done. Also there's a dealer here who was making a whole head replacement available I believe. I'd have to search on that or you can - maybe bugoutgear ? The E2D will be available soon from SF with an LED version though so that may be the best choice.
Unfortunately since the reflector in an E2D is part of the head - all one piece - you can't just make a drop in for it like you can with a 6P.

There will be a 120lm version of the E2D called E2DL soon this year.

Wrong. SureFire is releasing the E2DL pretty soon... And you can use either the KX1 or KX2 on the E2D as well, not to mention the all the previous LED modules made for the E series, such as the KL4 ( in both Natural HA or Black HA ) and all the modules found on the Outdoorsman Series.
I have no idea where did you hear that the only way to to have an LED on the E2D was building your own tower module, that's nonsense. CPFers have been "legoing" the E series for ages...
geee, im sorry outdoors....what was i thinking..you must have a surfire LED Head that has a strike bezel..where did you get that? i would like one
notice, the OP said he wanted a dropin or mod....not a whole new flashlight..
granted the E2DL is being realeased soon, but soon is not now...

the E2DL head will probably be available separately, at a rather steep price. Kola's Rebel LED upgrades might be the way to go, if you're up to some soldering - new Rebel diodes are still scarce, but don't fail anymore.
