Adding LED lights to the A & B buttons on the Wii Remote and Classic Controller
By Colin Geddes

January 18, 2007 – A new mod has been hacked for the Wii Remote and Classic Controller that allows for blue LED lights to be added to the A & B buttons on both the Classic and the Wii Remote controllers. These blue LED lights are the very same seen on the bottom of the Wii Remote to indicate which player you are controlling. 

This mod obviously is not overtly complex, and the result is pretty damn cool! To utilize this on the classic controller, solder 3V mini blue LED’s to the red wire pin and use the black wire pin to ground.

The best part about this mod is that the additional lights do not have any noticeable affect on the Wii Remote battery life. Like the majority of current Wii mods, this mod is purely cosmetic. Come on…doesn’t it just look awesome?led2.JPG              led1.JPG

    I don’t think so. You have to revise your looks. In general your blog is good, but sometimes your posts are creepy.
