3. Take old badge (or buy a new shiny one :P) remove black from the back of the badge using nail varnish remover, leaving it see through with the silver stars. Spray a thin coat of white enamel gloss and glue to front of grille:

4. Chop out side light connections, re-connect ± of LEDs & sidelight to orinial wires using a “chop-block”:
