I have wanted to have my Blues Junior to have a Fender Jewel light for as long as I can remember. I finally made it happen. I modded the jewel instead of the amp. I have researched this for a while and concluded to not have to modify the faceplate or the LED for hum concerns and for resale value. If anyone is interested I can walk them through the process. It took ten minuets and six dollars. I am waiting to install in onto my NOS. Anyways on with the pictures.

Okay...here's what you do. Buy a genuine Fender red jewel light. With a flat, round sanding or grinding unit of some kind, grind off the threading. I stuff a small bit of cloth or paper towel up into the inside top of the jewel to protect the glass from the metal filings. Use glasses and you may need some pliers to hold the jewel against the grinder because of the heat. Apply silicon glue carefully to the bottom of the jewel and also a small bit up into the inside as well. The silicon glue adheres to the chrome plate but will come off later without damaging the chrome if needed. Carefully position the jewel light over top on the existing LED light and allow to dry. Mine has been in place for several years now without coming off. ...BTW... you must use red or clear. Other colors do not work very well. I am very happy with this simple mod and so are other BJ users I have given a modified jewel. It takes less than 15 minutes.

It looks exactly like the cu-jarrett's picture above

Wow ! I am truly impressed with your idea and method. It really adds character to the amp. Very nice, Cboyd and Jarrett. Art
