spent some time planning out and working on the LED conversion for the other housing.  goal was I want it to LOOK original with the standard socket and all. just different guts :)

i was originally going to solder the wires directly to the brass/copper connectors on the socket, but as i got into it decided why NOT just shape them to fit a spade terminal !! this way i can unplug the wires and remove the LED board if needed for service, cleaning, etc... then i can trim the wires and solder and wrap the connectors onto the ends of the wires. one is tail, one for stop, and one for ground. put a lug on the ground then filed that to fit on the carriage bolt square.
