If you can get mail, you can order everything that you need to mod flashlights on line. A paypal account will make this possible.

Go to www.paypal.com and sign up. You'll need a banking account and a credit card. Well, that's what I used anyway. You may not even need that. With paypal, you can send online payments to vendors and it's just as good as, if not better than, sending a check.

If you want to upgrade that Mag light, go to the Sandwiche Shoppe at www.theledguy.com you should be able to find everything you'll need there.

As for the actual upgrading, there are quite a few posts here regarding that. Have a look around.

Or, if you have no access to a credit card (thus no possibility for paypal) you can likely send 'international money orders' from your post office. In the US, an international money order costs $3 or $4 and is cashable at most places in the world.

No idea what you are wanting to do, but the easiest and one of the cheapest and most cost-effecitve mods is to use either a 3 C or D cell Maglite and put in a Lux I LED either from Diamond or a Craftsman Lux light. On 3 D cells, these will give you a day of runtime with good brightness followed by over another day of usable light.

okay....thanks for the replies

You can make payments via bank draft as well if paypal isn't available. Western Union, Money Gram etc, are a last resort as their prices suck. ($15US for me)

6 months late but welcome to CPF.

I just send you a PM regarding upgrading your M@g 2D.
