Chrysler minivans come with rechargeable flashlights that charge from the car and sit in the truck. They are very, very mediocre. What I'd like to do is replace the guts of the flashlight with modern good stuff, with nice wide dispersion, keep the form factor, the recharging from the car capability, and the red low-battery light.
This is my first time doing this sort of mod, so I just want to run through the basic steps and get some input.
(1) Multimeter what is going to the current dual LEDs
(2) Find a combination of LED, controller (if needed), and optic that fit
(3) Do the switch
(4) Have a beer?
In a nutshell is that right? I'll post more details as I take apart the flashlight and measure stuff.
