Color LED's in iPod - 06/15/04 10:54 AM
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.

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!

You posted twice, you posted twice... Anyway, I have a Gen 1, so I have no idea what the button system layout is...

Is there any other place that you could get the LED lights from other then buying them online? Also how do you place the LED lights in the correct spots on the IPOD?

Radioshack is a good source of LED's and other small electrical parts.
As for rewiring it, if you look on the board there will be really tiny LED's that you can just take and wire them from. You may need to take the power off the battery and have the opposite wire connect to the board so it can power it and have the board control it.
