Comments:

This replacement switch cover is approximately 10mm x 8mm, whereas the original cover is approximately 10mm x 6mm. Not an exact fit (see pictures below), but works just as well as the original as far as operating the switch is concerned.

The slightly thicker flange causes the switch retaining ring to stick up about a half-millimeter more than the original. Because the retaining ring does not snug completely down to the flashlight body, there is a slightly increased risk of water intrusion via the threads. I would recommend against intentionally dunking or using this flashlight (with the translucent switch cover) submerged underwater.

Before and after pictures of the switch (like night and day!):

Removal of the side switch retaining ring is a simple process of unscrewing it. See this link if you need further instructions: Sky Ray king ..lost button - #16 by Shaquille

You can use a pair of long-nosed pliers, snap ring pliers, or tweezers as a tool for removing the retaining ring. It is not screwed on very tightly. However, be very careful not to scratch the anodized finish of the flashlight or the retaining ring.

Are those KD ones ? I just ordered 5 of them
EDIT : okay I’m dumb, you said that in your post. Anyway, thanks for the before/after pics

Yes, they are the KD ones.

I’m just offering these up for people who only need one and who don’t like to wait the two or three weeks that it typically takes for shipping overseas. :innocent:

Last bump.

This sale has been going on for a week now, so I guess whoever was interested has gotten theirs. I’ll continue monitoring this thread for another few more days. After that, if anyone happens to stumble across this thread and is still interested, please send me a PM.

Got mine yesterday - thanks! :cool:

You’re welcome!
