yeah mate it would be great if you could! I for one has been wanting to do this mod for a long time, and by the time I had the free time, the Fordmods, along with the docs, went down

| The filter paper you put in is a key factor in how much light gets through. Too thick and the lamp will not be strong enough to penetrate and diffuse the light properly. Too think and it will far too bright. Try experimenting with the amount of filter paper and see what it looks like in the dark. |
