I have a eclipse 2 and recently installed the 2x36 bright kit in the hood(from AHsupply), underneath the plexiglass light protector where the old lights sat. It is a tight fit but it works. Excess heat is not a problem if you widen the hole in the back with a dremel and install a 3" cooling fan from radio shack (and replace the rubber light switch on the top with a pop in round vent cover that comes with the kit.) I actually had to put my aquarium heater back in because the water temp had lowered to around 74 (the temp in my house.)
