LED buttons without switch

[DubbedTheBeast]

 i don't know if someone has already asked this question but i was wondering if anyone knows how to add LEDs to your buttons that will turn on only when the controller is on. i have already done my research on wiring the lights and powering them but i don't want to have a switch on it or have to remove my battery pack every time i stop playing.

what I think spurg is trying to say is use this thread as a guideline:

You can also use an NPN transistor or Mosfet for switching, the type depends on how much voltage you have to spare.

The tutorials section for xbox360 also has some relavant threads that Spurg made:
