Can you change the LED's in an iPod? I have a 2d Gen iPod and want to change it to match the blue LED's in my VW.

TIA - Bill

make sure you test the led before putting it in because it may be a different shade than desired. thats from experience. made that mistake with some mods before, but thank goodness it was something that simple. they all look the same, but one orange may be slightly different, even thought they look exactly the same when they are dark. eh, maybe i'm just complaining about nothing, but i do that...

Also, if you want to get some good LED's without spending the ridiculous prices (ala RatShack) check out LS-Diodes. I always use them, and have yet to get bad product/service...

I've found the color on their LED's to be excellent, and at less than $.60 cents an LED, they have saved me some serious cash!
