Hi!
I'm new here, and I'm looking to work on my Anakin MR lightsaber to try out and see if I can convert it. If it works, then I'd most likely do my Episode 5 Vader lightsaber.
Anyway, I want to do it myself, and so I'm looking for the DIY Anakin Conversion kit (because I don't want to pay 350 dollars for it).
Does anyone know where I can buy it?

If you look in the store here under FX conversion kits you should find the parts you need, and there is a complete section on MR and FX conversions on the forum.

Good luck.
Awesome, thank you!
Now, does that come with everything I'm going to need, or do I need to buy other pieces to complete it?

You will need to buy the LED separately, as per description

THIS KIT IS FOR THE NON REMOVABLE BLADE VERSIONS

MR/Hasbro Anakin conversion kit.
Blade/LED holder for converting a Anakin to a luxeon 3w.
LED, lens, and lens holder are sold seperately.

That's still not bad though! Thanks! :D
Will I need the lens and lens holder though too, or are they optional?

Unless you want a very poorly illuminated blade, then no, they are not optional.

Pretty sure that's not what I want haha :D
Awesome, thanks!
Also, should this fit on the end of my saber as it is, or should I buy a brand new blade if I want this attached?

The kit is a bit big for the hilt, get ready to sand or prep your dremel! After you're done, it fits like a glove.

Sweet, thanks! Which part will need to be sanded, only the part that goes down into the hilt or the whole thing?
