You have to remove the uv filter to make it night vision. You also have to add a few uv LEDs to shine out in front of the camera. But if you do that, you won't get very good pictures in daylight. But internalizing it seems like a. Good idea. Only thing is, I'd buy a couple chottos in case you bust one while internalizing it. But don't use the tut that gamerdude posted if you do internalize it. That way requires you to remove the umd drive. There is a way that does not require you to remove it.
