here im bending the legs


heres the legs bent and in place


legs soldered in place and LED+ LED- soldered on.
place the LED wires so they'll line up with the board.


LED wires trimmed and Vin placed and set(epoxy) in place


board set with gnd (black wire)
also place the spring holder thing on and set it.


sit place battery contact and mark


cut it off a little above the mark.(cutting it keeps it from hitting the board)


notch the 2 sides (this keeps the contact from falling out)


place the spring on and solder the gnd wire on.


here im pressing the head back in...



for sale here

Thanks for the pics! I think I understand what's going on in each of them... but I'll need to practice my soldering skills before I'm ready to dissect my HAIII-X5T!

Where can you buy those Nichia's? I've been looking and can't seem to find anything except the specs. Thanks! Great light mod by the way. I love it when someone else does these things to already perfectly good lights as well!!
