Is there an upgrade for the x-8 hell fighter?

You can't  polish a turd.  You'd be better off buying a better light.  

I've had two Hellfighter X-8's (because the first one broke the first time I pushed the switch).  The second one squeeked when the button was pushed and had a dim, greenish beam.  I gave it away and am sticking with quality USA-Made lights from now on.

Below is a closeup of the poorly machined threads (complete with dirty factory grease) and the low-grade o-rings.

Unless the Hellfighter guys use a P60 compatible drop-in, you'll have to contact them for upgrades.  It's not a popular enough light for there to be generic upgrades for.
