Did a little wet sanding and polishing tonight at work... (went a lot quicker than i thought... lol)
Here's what I started with...
The center top looked ok when I had the blue tops on, but next the the basically NOS tops I got from shues, it looked horrible... lol
So, I started with a quick 1000 grit wet sand (right side of top)
Then onto a quick 3000 grit...
Then after a quick polishing with some PlastX, it looks pretty damn good...

Yeah, he's in Canada, so you have to convert it to metric. So 911 becomes 8367, or something like that.
Could be worse...you could be like a certain member here who locked their keys in a marked patrol car in the Wendy's parking lot.
Tried modding a Five-O light with an LR11. The fit was perfect...too bad they are finicky when it comes to power and it doesn't like that it gets power from a rotating contact plate. Damn. Looks sweet but after a few hours of trying to mock up a solution it's just not seeming feasible. Even tried to independently wire the LR11 but wasn't able to keep contact due to the rotation.
Checking back in for 12... Gonna do some transplant surgery tonight... Gotta get the ULF-44 into the 48" and put the Intelli-Flasher in the 36"...
Y
I like this idea.
Hmm how many lr 11's could you shove in there?
sounds like you need two or maybe three brushes for power contact....

I agree. One module fits perfectly in the spot for the original bulb. It has got me thinking about tearing out the guts and making it all LR11s inside on a rotating pattern. That would be a bit more then I want to spend on this. I'll revisit it Wednesday on my next day off
oh in thinking mounting them to rotate like the original bulb would. (Steady burn them) maybe tossing 3 or 4 in there.
Led Mini rotating beacon ftw.
I wont kid, I gave it serious thought; even went as far as punching through my headliner via the roof hole where I had the lightbars wire run, in hopes the rear door handle would solve things. I caught it; pulled...and failed due to child safety crap.
However, Im in now, and am the proud owner of 3 new spare keys

Got a concept mock up to work. Thread in project section to follow shortly
friggin sinus infection/sore throat is trying to kick my butt.
Got off work yesterday and helped some folks work on our "new" EMA vehicle... They are tired of our big box van so they gave us literally a "short bus" moved the seats around and took out the wheel chir lift and came up with a few ideas of where to mount what.
Got home to see the GF hadn't made it back to the house yet so I layed down for a nap. 3 hours later I woke up to check in to some amateur radio nets, then layed back down. next thing I know its 2am.
got up took my contacts out and went back to bed.
sore throat has subsuded but still got a sinus headache.
I also have an extra key, its the "valet" key. I keep it in the house. I accidently locked myself out of the house one time but since the keys were inside the deadbolt wasn't locked. all I had to do was wiggle the door open open with a carpenters knife.

It's been kind of a weird week here. Monday and Tuesday I returned rental trailers back to Concord, Wednesday I went and helped out a mechanic at the port, Thursday I moved one of our big rubber tire cranes to the port, and today I spent riding around in a pickup hauling cones and stuff to the port, and tomorrow I'm going to help out mechanics on another job.
Oh I also put my normal truck and the extendable flatbed in the shop Thursday morning for some pretty simple stuff and by today at 5 they still hadn't finished it.
So it's been a fun week.
