    how do i wire led's into my 360?

    uhh...yeah.

    i have 4 red LEDs and some rectifires..and i want them in my xbox since i have a window in it with plexi glass..but uhh..how?

    im pretty sure you can wire them into that plug that is by the fan...but there are 4 wires on there..a red one a black one(could those be it?) and a purple and blue one..ive tried to follow the tutorials with no luck..could some one please explain on how to do this?? thanks! (pics are GOOD!)


    OK..update..the led does come one when i put it into the slot where the red and black wires would go..so i put some wires into there and and tried to get the led to come on..but had no luck..anyone else have some ideas??

    thanks..

    If you don't know how to wire up LEDs, you probably shouldn't be messing with the inside of your 360...

    make sure you have the proper resistors, and then ask the same question at http://xbox-scene.com/

      Don't need the rectifiers, as your 360 already runs on DC. Should just need the correct resistors...

      LED's are polarized I.E. They only work when current flows in one direction, could explain the diode lighting, then not working. Or you could have burned it out.

      I would HIGHLY recommend reading up on what you're doing at risk of bricking your 360.
