Title: DS Lite LEDs
Post by: LieutenantPie on August 04, 2010, 09:55:32 PM
I just wanted to know:

1. How to put blue LEDs in the buttons of a DS like in this video. I already found a tutorial for the power lights and the L/R buttons.
Nintendo DS Button Mod Blue LEDs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUs1TQaJe-g#normal)
Judging by the way the buttons light up, they are connected to the power light (which I also intend to replace).

2. Should I keep my black DS Lite housing and just get translucent buttons (including L/R), or replace the entire thing with a see-through one?

3. If keeping the black housing is a better idea, where can I get just the translucent buttons?

not a Ds modder but if you arent really good at organizing your led wires i suggest keeping the original housing and getting clear buttons.

tho this with clear buttons would look sick.

That would be cool. Thanks for the advice, but I have one last question. Should I keep my black DS housing or get one of these two?

Second, where do I get translucent buttons!? I've looked everywhere and the only site that might have them has been removed!

Two things...
1:. Don't bump old topics.
2:. Search next time... There is an entire section for DS Tutorials. https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/board,473.0.html (https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/board,473.0.html)

You want 0603 smd leds and 30 awg kynar wire you can find both of these things by using the search feature on ebay
