Re: Rachels CL100, BAD ASS METAL SCULPTURE
Working on homespun LED headlight conversion
Got a cheapy "stock styled" headlamp on ebay, lens and chrome bezel are a proper fit into my housing.

The beauty of it is, it fully disassembles. Plastic lens seperate from metal chrome reflector and a removable 6v bulb.
gonna try same led I used in the rest of system.
The led body is a nice fit in the hole (no cutting required) just find a way to attach it. 2 #4 screws w modified flat washers should work nice.
Currently experimenting w different diffusers/reflector. to get best light without blinding oncoming traffic.
I cut a silver plastic christmas ball. Its round and shiny and sitting in a box in the basement.
I did look at small, self adhesive convex "real" mirrors (kind you stick on your cars sideveiw mirrors) for a bit...but they were all too large at about 2 inch diameter.
tried taping that to lens to reflect light back towards reflector and blocking direct light from blinding people....Hmmm not impressed.
Removed it and now trying different diffusers fixed directly over led lens...not too bad. But more to come.
