Edit: So I ordered my LED's on 2/14 and still havent recived them yet as of 3/7.:mad

Edit: So i contacted him via email and the vendor is going to ship out some more led's express mail with a tracking #. Vendor has good customer service but needs to find a better way to ship.

Want that little extra glam on one or all of your Wiimotes? well www.wiimotemods.com/ has a tutorial on replaceing your blue LED's and backlighting your A button ( a different color per player channel p1= blue p2=red p3= green p4= orange).
not mutch, but fun if your sitting around with you soldering iron waiting for your new chip of choise to arrive. This site also sells LED kits so u dont have to meet minimum orders your self, but if you ask me if you buy the package with the de-soldering braid and the wire included it's a bit of a ripoff ( ie $8 for a bit of wire and the braid).

So is it safe to buy the mod-kits off of www.WiimoteMods.com? How is their shipping?

i got all my parts from Ebay, cheap smd LED 100x for $5 shipped. think the brightness is alright but its a alternative to the mod kit.

Wow 100 for $5, sounds good

I will be doing a similar mod myself on my 4 wiimotes. I have ordered all the stuff just waiting for it to arrive in the mail (even got a sweet hakko 936 soldering station). I'll post my results when I am finished.
