i put a small bag of silica gel in each light to help with condensation if my sealing of the lights was less than perfect. you can buy it in big bags in pets at home as cat littler ;)

@howzit@ after i had decide on the route and got all the bits together i suppose the whole thing took about 4-5 hours. i took my time though.

if i was doing it again? couple of hours maybe three.

I'm really tempted to give it a try, might have a go when I have a day off again.
