Heya...

@RegRover ; thanks for uploading the pics and for the DIY of VIP puddle lights. I've been waiting for a DIY. Anyways i did a bit of rendition to one of the pics you uploaded of the diffuser. Hope you don't mind. Here are two options and sorry i did this quick Photoshop with MS Paint. :-P
There are two options. Do let me know if you like anyone of them or both. lol

Cheers
