   I'm planning a new set of homebrew LED lights to hook up to my generator hub, and I like the size and form of the MiNewt lights, so it's time to play Dr. Fronk-en-schteen.

   Specifically, I'm only looking for the lamp assembly of a single or dual unit. I don't care if it works; all I need are the casing, lens, and reflector. It'd be nice if the wires were in good shape and the LED actually worked, but I can live without either.

   A single headlamp is cool, one of the duals would be cooler, or two singles would be coolest of all.

   Lemme know via PM, or danDOTblumenfeldATgmailDOTcom...

   Sure. The electric bits are real easy for dynamo hubs; the case and wiring is the harder part.

   I'm probably going with 3 lights and a three-position switch on the bars. Two lights will be mounted low on the fork, to move with the wheel and better illuminate the road surface; one, with a wider, more diffuse beam, will be mounted higher on the frame pointing straight forward. The 3-position switch will be single light on--all off--all on.

   I might throw a momentary switch in there too, so I can flash my lights at people ;-)
