Trustfire TR-3T6 driver fryed? Repair advice needed

Ow I couldn’t be more wrong…. All due to my incompitence by the way. But this morning I percevered and got the driver out. @Werner: Thanks for the tip of using more solder! That and some brute force did the trick. Here are some pics of the old driver:


I’ve allready received the new driver and the resistors that where linked in this thread. Just test fitted it, and it is to high for the pill. The original driver looks alot more like the driver in post 689 . But since manafront seems to be out of business there aren’t many alternatives. Thinking of getting this driver and fill the gap with some copper pipe or plate.

Since the leds are glued in, I’m not going to bother with replacing them with XML2’s or a dedome. Since this is my “play light”. Or is there an easy way to get them of the pill?
