Parts and tools:
1 Blue LED, i used 5mm 3.7volt
1 s controller
1 flat head screw driver, the really tiny ones are the best
1 drill
1 file/knife
1 hot glue gun and glue

Instructions:
1. Take the screw driver and keep prying up along the sides carefully as to not leave marks on the plastic surrounding.
2. Once the logo is pryed off remove the clear sticky layer and the plain white layer also.
3. Drill a hole where the logo was prior to removal. File the hole down till you hardly have any edge left.
4. Place the xbox logo back where it was. Hold in place and then shoot hot glue over it on the back side. Hold in place and try not to move it too much so the glue has a smooth texture. Don't touch the glue.
5. Solder LED onto pre-existing solder points on the controller board. See picture. The solder points are the two farthest points from each other. Be careful when soldering the led make sure the diode's direction is going the right way. You can test this by plugging it into xbox and powering up and see if it lights up.
6. Adjust the led in place till it looks right with cover over. Nobody wants a crooked led light on their controller. I mounted mine horizontially.
