Was wondering if anyone has experience or advice doing this. I opened one up and it doesn't look as easy as I thought. Here's a picture of what I found. Thanks

Its a printed circuit board. You cannot turn it into anything. If you want to buy different emitters off e-bay you could use the drivers and fans to build a strip but I can assure you, its not really worth the hassle. IMO you'd be better off using T-5's or a premade stunner strip.
