Top marks for attempting that one! Just a word of caution for anyone attempting this... the black border on the lens and the paint on the body where the lens attaches will need a really good key onto the plastic, or you could end up with the same problem that plagued some "standard" lights where the lens starts to come away

good work, i admire the effort. I do prefer the NA lights though.
