Hi Guys,
I'm a modding virgin......so I want to ease into doing some of this modding stuff by enhancing one of my more basic lights. Here we have a Fenix L1T:
It's pretty basic....I don't care much for the sickly green Lux-III (lost the lottery bigtime). I have a few nice Seoul P4 U-bins (SWO tint!!! :rock
, one of which I would like to transplant in here. It should double my brightness to make this light more useable.
So I ran into my first problem. I can't get the light engine out. Freakin thing seems like it's glued in place!!! ARGH!!! Has anyone successfully removed their's? Is it a simple matter of twisting it out?
Anyways, I was wondering if someone can give me some pointers and cautionary tips on doing this supposedly simple mod. I'm thinking I may need to bore out a slightly bigger hole in the reflector to accomodate the Seoul. I also think that I need to raise the emitter by 0.03". What's the best way to go about insulating against shorting out the contacts on the emitter?
Oh well.....this will be a work in progress. Worst thing to happen is I ruin a nice L1T...... Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

It's like a battle of good and evil (me being good, and the danged pill.....evil). The pill shall not prevail.......I will win the day.....and when I do.... there shall be enlightment.
