1) Bought a little LED flashlight for a dollar at the dollar store (sorry, I forgot to take a pic before installation)
2) Removed the original bulb base and made the hole in the reflector bigger to accommodate flashlight
3) Fastened flashlight in place with hot glue

Other obvious steps include removing the original battery holder and measuring things to make sure that the front of the light could swing open. The flashlight is operated by a button at the after end. It is about 3-1/4" long with 2-3/8" extending behind the reflector. Diameter is about 7/8". The recipient is a Shelby Flying Cloud.

Well that's actually like I do most of my headlight conversions, minus the hot glue part.
 
Spike:
How do you fasten the LED flashlights into the headlamps in your conversions?
Be well
