What's Inside an Ego Passthrough?

[Shizzle]

wasn't sure where to post this, but i think modders may have the best shot at knowing the answer?...

just bought an Echo -- LOVE it, but the humongous LED at the end of it is causing me some problems on the homefront. he says it's SO bright, that he's being "blinded" by it when sitting across from me in a dimly lit room or outside at night (yeah right; although, ok, it is indeed kinda super-dee-duper bright, lol)...

so, i started thinking about how i could remedy the situation -- and i think i've found a way:

what if i removed the bottom of an old Ego passthrough (the part that the cord plugs into), and glued that in place of my Echo's LED, and then screwed on the Ego's end cap? sounds too easy....which usually means i'm totally wrong -- which leads me to my question:

is the part that the cord plugs into on an Ego passthrough rather shallow, kinda like how an adapter would be? or is it actually part of the huge battery itself?

if it is, i imagine you're having yourself a good laugh right now.

thanks for any help you can offer.

Look around the edges of the plastic cover for the LED. If it's anything like the old mini DSE901 that I had a while ago, there should be two little straight edges on there. Stick a thin flathead screwdriver in there and pry off the cover. From there you can just pull out the LED and stick the cover back on.

It's not like that DSE-901.!

What about just a piece of black electrical tape for when he's around, ya stick it on and he cant complain, when he's not around you pull it off, this way you don't have to mess up your Echo !

or tone it down to something like the glowing end of a cigarette using stainless mesh and/or different nail polishes

nail polish is reversible, but who has black, so i use black marker with clear nail polish (just test the marker on another plastic surface to determine if it leaves an undesirable blue metalic sheen)

EDIT: or mount the business from an AAA LED flashlight in there, and really blind him, lol

thanks guys. i think i'll go with the tape, since i have some -- and if that doesn't work out, i'll buy some of that EMO nail polish.
