That's really nice! Looks great!
Could you post some close up pics! I'm doing something similar and would really like to see how you've done it. What kind of spacer did you use, how thin/thick etc.

So please put up some more pics man!

Sorry everyone I'm out of town until next week but as soon as I get back I will post some close ups. But to shorten these I just removed the stem off the light and then re wired the lights. I will post pics next week guys. Thanks for all the comments.
