It all depends where you're putting the LEDs. Triggers? Power/memstick? UMD Drive? /\[]XO D-Pad?

Blue looks nice although overused.... Green actually looks amazing with black imo, but in the end it's your choice.

I prefer blue but If you don't like that then I'd say white or red.

I agree, White and blue mixes really well. Not too sure about red and white, only because of the difference in power consumption. could be a pain for a new modder to sort out. I know it was for me when I first started.

Yea he still hasn't messaged about what color hes going do but it would be better of since hes a new modder to start off with one color.

I'm doing sound reactive LED's but i feel like doing white LED's but it might look really dull since i have a black PSP, i'm putting them in the bottom speakers and the triggers

OK at least you know what you want to do now do you want direct connect the leds or use the LM386.

Direct contact is were you connects the leds to the speakers of the psp.

The LM386 works as a amp giving a boost to your leds and speaker thous making you leds much brighter then direct contact.

How would you connect a different switch like a dip switch instead of using a LM386?
