Wow, i was just going to post this as my first post, but i guess i'll be humbly waiting on the answer for yours.... I hAve a standard E2 executive, and i was looking for a replacement bulb assembly, bbut i figured i would look around for a LED upgrade first....
KL1, but then you would lose the crenellated bezel. But TAD gear sells crenellated
bezels. Other problem is KL1 is HA. KL4 would work also. I'd wait a while because SF
is upgrading these heads. Someone else may have a better suggestion.

Im afraid not,
There are modders who take the extra step,but theire not worth the money imho.
Just buy a KL1 or KL4 Led head,it will be cheaper than having a led module/LE made for the E2x series.
The upcoming Cree XR-E KL1 would be a nice upgrade for about $50.
Availabilty and delivery date is not known yet,but im guessing May at the earliest.

Cool, that was a fast comeback, while i was waiting, i got this link in my email http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main...nbr=6&prrfnbr=827&sesent=0,0&search_id=306857
In reference to the KL1
Forgive my noobieness, but what does HA mean? Also, how does the repl. head effect the pocket clip? it didn't look like the Kl1 head had a clip...

You could ofcource go nuts and buy a A19 Head from TheLedGuy.com,awsome output but quite expensive too..@ $150 -
Make sure you get the right Converter if you order one,there are heads for 1x123 use and 2x123 and up use.
If you watch B/S/T & Customs B/S/T you can find some good deals on Aleph heads for use with the E-Series Lego.
Also Quite expensive at $100 - UP

HA is hard anodized which in your case means it won't be the right color but will
still fit. If you have the old style Executive series with the clip on the head, no more
clip unfortunately. Again somebody may have a clip solution.

If you're used to the output of a E2E/E2D (60 lumens), the KL1's output (30 lumens) might be a little underwhelming. The lower ouput aside, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the KL1. I EDC'ed an E2E with a first generation KL1 for a couple years and never had a problem with it. That light has since been upgraded with a KL4 and a McClicky tailcap, and I've EDC'ed it ever since.

Another choice would be to get an E to C adapter from the Hound, a 6P-compatible head and a Cree drop-in.
