Whats the best LED drop-in for a 2D Mag. I bought a DB-3w and use it in a 3D Mag and like it a lot. I tried it in my 2D and it does not perform very well. :( Any suggestions?

I think you can get 3 C's into that 2D body. I intend to try this myself someday.

I have the new DB-3W and run it a 2D Mag changed to 3C....runs great. Just do the 1" PVC pipe thing and cut down the lower (large part part) of the tail cap spring. Remove anodize from tail cap, and you are ready to go.
