I have a MJ-816 that has served me well for over three years of night riding. It has a P7 in the main beam, and I'd love to upgrade it to XML. Has anyone done this upgrade on this light? Is it a simple matter of de-soldering the P7 and soldering in the XML? If so, what style or type of XML should I get?

I'd probably not mess with it if it also involves changing out the board. Also, I assume there be an issue with focusing the beam with the different emitter. How can the focus be adjusted?

This would be my first flashlight mod, so please excuse the basic questions.
