Years ago I followed a conversion process by BryanS on this list to adapt the
new lenses to original buckets. It was actually pretty easy, well so easy even
I could do it. I used a couple of small pieces if stainless steel to separate
the lens and had to trim a small piece off of the original buckets but that
would be easy to undo if I wanted to go original. I also added an additional bulb
so the brake lights would be brighter.

I don't remember exactly what I did but it was pretty obvious once I had the
lenses and buckets in hand. Good for 2nd place at Silver State in Sept 2004
(take that Dawg!).
