I really like the lite from the new LED lamps. The new LED light fixtures will arrive today, If they fit the mounting holes correctly, I think the problem will be solved
Thank you for the update, if the new assemblies do not fit, feel free to contact me about taking the new light sockets and installing in the old housings, I have lots of screws, bolts and pop rivets.
