Which is what I did today. (sorry not pics)

Pic 1 I also found out that the chrome ring for light would not sit level on the lamp, because of two nubs on the glass (made during manuf). These are new LED stuff I bought some time back. The lamp assembly is by HELLA made in Germany and DOT approved, has glass lens and metal housing, nice stuff.

Nice Jim....curious is Mark going to modify the lamp base by adding steel like he has done before for better adjusting (see pics for reference)? I just bought some 11g steel today to make a couple new base rings and follow Mark's lead. Your repair is looking good.
