I was wanting to replace mine with blue also. I would guess it would be just like the controller if you use surface mount LEDs, just desolder the current ones, put a slight drop of solder on the tip of the iron, place the new led on the board and quickly touch it to the solder point. It should solder perfectly. I haven't did this, but that's how I normally do surface mount LEDs on my project boards and it seems to get a good connection and be the easiest way to do it.

haha i got it. i had 2 on the same way so i switched 1 of em to see if it would work and it does. muahaha. ok right now i got 1 blue led in my controller. another thing that pissed me off was that the wireless controller had torx 8 screws with a protective thing in the middle of them so you couldnt unscrew them. i drilled a little hole in my torx 8 driver and i got them off at like midnight lol. fuck m$

Yeah I'd definitely try on the controllers before I would try on the 360. I plan to replace them all to blue eventually. A $50 controller is a bit easier to replace than a $400 console Wink. BTW FREE 360s FOLLOW MY LINK hahaha.

Oh I noticed you just hit 1000 posts on here, congrats.
