I'm sure a lot of us are interested in this, just not asking
I trimmed 16mm from the bottom of the mount. I used a Dremel with a cut off wheel to cut the outside edges and then used a coping saw to cut the rest of the way through.

the 201 and 124 used the same light, different base. the 126 light was larger and had a different angle to the lens side, and a different base. since you said the gasket makes contact all around, need to know what the part number is (can't read it int he picture) so I can know which kind to use for my own project
One of the lights I had came out of a w124 and the other came out of a w126.

w201, w124 and w126 used the same light. If you take one apart, all three are listed inside. They all just use different height mounting towers.
