Hi folk, first time modder here.
I am looking to perform a similar mod like the one linked below myself:
Basically replacing led and driver, nothing fancier than that.
I know I can buy emitters and driver from Mountain Electronics:
and
What tools(solder iron, etc.) and consumable(flux? liquid metal?, etc.) would I need?
Please linking me directly to purchasing if possible :partying_face: .
Thanks all!
All you need is a $4 soldering iron and some rosin core solder from Harbor Freight to get you by . Here is a link for thermal paste from Amazon.

Might need tools to get off and put on a driver retaining-ring, so ring-puller pliers might be necessary. I got a set of 4 Tekton pliers for that.
Rubber sheet to protect the finish in case you need lots of grip to get off a stubborn or glued head.
Diagonal snips to properly cut wires.
Xacto™ knives for trimming.
Etc.
