Please replace

4x 4081a (Black Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Light Attachment - Thin Ring)

with

4x 4081 (Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Light Attachment (Undetermined Ring Type)

Reason:
Set seems to be released with both versions (thin ring and thick ring) of this
part, depending on fabrication date.

I personally own this set. The manual indeed shows the Thin Ring. However: I
have never seen a thin ring version in my life. I checked the entire inventory
of my lego and I have exactly the same amount of Thick Ring versions in Excess
than that I am short on Thin Ring Versions. Indicating that this set was indeed
bought with Thick Ring included from the factory, despite the Manual showing
a thin ring.

If you make this request, ask for 4081b to be added, not the undetermined entry
4081. But the way you described it, it doesn't sound like a change that
will be approved.

I have been looking into this case since few years ago but I don't have any
opinion about thin rings. It is very tricky.
