   does anyone know if the side light holes can be filed or sanded to be made slightly bigger.
   
   ive just bought new led bulbs but theres nine leds on each one and theyre slightly too big to fit through.
   
   before i got to all the effort and potentually fuck up the lights, does anyone know if this should work or will it ruin the fixing?

   looks ok but i had to file the hole out quite a bit.
   
   then i had to glue the bulbs in place
