FVM GP60M Ditchlight Assembly

Did some exploratory surgery to see how the ditchlight pipes were run on the FVM GP60M. The front walkway piece is a separate part from the rest of the walkway but was held in place with some glue, making it a bit difficult to pop off. One side of the light pipe came out of the bottom of the ditchlight housing OK but the other side fractured at the base when I tried to pry it free. It appears the light pipes and the lenses in the ditchlights are separate pieces as well. I tried painting the light pipes white in hopes that this would help increase light intensity but, unfortunately, it made it way worse. This is the second time I ever tried painting light pipes and had poor results. Never again!
