I have done that (sanding) on LEDs to improve the dispersion of the light. I'm also working on an LED project. Research going forward in slow motion. It involves buying various cheap LED light assemblies on ebay, shipped direct from China and testing them in the van. Here's an example of one that would go in the "dome" light over the driver's door and in the westy fixture that uses 3 bulbs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/320723356033?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I will share my findings with the list when I have some conclusive info.
