I bought cheap led replacement bulbs and then lined the cavity with aluminum tape like you seal ducting with.

All I did was cut two strips and put them on the back in a cross pattern. No cutting circles or filling gaps.



I'm now at 5500lumen at two feet, per bulb.

Hey ducksface - make sure you lube them with blinker fluid or they will go dim during the daylight.
