Yes please do i hope we can get any insight in to if is at all possible to non destructively get these open, and if it is not, maybe it is possible to buy or cut a small flashlight lens to fit, if we have to go trough the lens to get in and poke the driver out.

Hi,
This is a followup to another thread (Single AAA Gifts ), but specific to the Hugsby XP-2 (and maybe XP-1) AAA lights.
I have a couple of the XP-2 (2 x AAA) and have been trying to disassemble the head.

So, now, I’ve removed the driver, by de-soldering (and cutting) it from the brass ring:

Is this driver modda…
I got the driver out now, relatively un-damaged (had to cut-the solder joints), but haven’t been able to figure out how to take the head completely apart yet.
My pics are in that other thread.
