Yes, the ones that are currently in there are remodel types; easy to
pull out. How easy would it be to rewire through that hole? And can a
DIYer do it?


Well they were originally wired through that hole so you shouldn't have much
trouble. I don't know your skill and experience level or what tools you own
so I have no idea if you could do this or not. Try taking one apart and see
what happens. Worst case scenario is that you will need to call an
electrician in to do the work.



I did look for somthing to cover them, but only found a product made
by Tenmat http://www.tenmat-us.com/fire-protect-products.html. Not
sure if that's what you were referring to. something like that would
certainly be the easiest!


Those are the ones I was thinking about. I've never used them, but if you
want to block the heat from escaping out of your house and be able to
insulate around the lights, it seems as that may be a good way to go.

You might want to also check out the lights that RBM recommended. Keep in
mind that IC lights are only rated for a maximum wattage of 75 as opposed
to the non-IC which are rated for 150 watts.
