I wanted to thank Smovva and LEDSupply! Quick shipping (to Canada), and everything connected up easily.

I made some (perhaps not recommended) simplifications. I found I could just slightly trim the ends of the LED Driver wires and stick them directly into the harness I removed from the OEM Valeo board. This saved cutting and soldering wires. I was concerned about the wires coming loose (although it was a very tight fit), so I melted them in hot glue to prevent them from coming loose or grounding out. I then wrapped it in electrical tape.

Once complete I put a dab of hot glue on the dimmer wire that I trimmed short (to prevent it grounding on the frame), and then hot glued the Meanwell board in the light housing as shown in the attached pictures. Everything seems to be held in place pretty well, but I will double check in a week or so.

Thanks! Great repair for $6 plus shipping.
