| This is a very easy tut that was made for anyone who wants to swap leds that wants to minimize the chances of messing up... I am not responsible for anything you do to your controller Disclaimer: I accept no responsibility for what you do to your game consoles, controllers, and/or accessories. Please look at the ratings and make sure you read the entire tutorial to evaluate whether you can accomplish it. Thanx. Sorry for the crappy pics I have a really crappy camera. Items you need: Torx security allen wrench (find it on ebay(look up xbox screwdriver  ))0603 Led Solder Soldering Iron (I used a 20 watt) Small Pliers Optional: Helping Hands (or a magnifying glass) Knife 1.)First get your controller that should look something like this...  2.)Now take out the battery and take out the obvious screws  3.)Then find the hidden screw found here...  4.)After that open the controller from the very tip of the handle (slowly)...  5.)And slowly pick it up towards the Left and Right triggers...  6.)Once uncovered you'll need to remove the rumble motors...  7.)Set the motors aside and hold the charging port and headset jack and wiggle it until the board comes off...  8.)Then set the cover aside and should look like this...  9.)Now remove the joystick grips...  10.)VERY CAREFULLY melt the solder on both sides of the led you are going to swap  11.)After a couple times put very little pressure on one side then the other until the led slowly comes off of the contacts...if you put too much pressure you will completely take the contact off...  12.)If you happen to do this you'll need to scrape the paint off the trace and solder the led on it...  Test it...swap the rest off the Leds and follow the directions backwards to put the control back together and enjoy!!!
