I began the process of installing the new and improved LEDs in their housings. The bases have new holes drilled in them, but they need to be held in a very close-tolerance position inside the housings. Using a test assembly as a template, I glued each LED into its base. Once these dry, the LEDs will be inserted into the white collars, sticking out about 0.5 to 1.0 mm. (photo 2 below). Then they will be inserted into the black lens housings. The bases will be glued into the housings to complete the basic assemblies. After than, I'll start on the labels.
