Hi, this project is a hobby, but I am continuing on with it. Deep60sama, there is a reason that it does not get much attention for mod work, it is a "challenge". There just is not much room to work in this light, the internal shapes are complicated, and the typical drivers will not fit. When I started, I had not planned to design / build my own drivers + LED board + find a special short optics package.
It has been a great experience, although it will never rise to the point of "a good financial decision". Most people want to buy LED module drop ins for under $ 150, which is reasonable. It isn't always obvious that it takes $ 2-3 K up front, then the cost of parts per module eat up a good chunk of the selling price.
That is why it is called a hobby.
