Just finished applying a DecalGirl skin and and some lights in the xbox but had some problems installing the controller port lights.

Was wondering if anyone has a more simple way of making the hole in the back of the control port? When I tried to drill it, the bit would catch the metal and just rip it to shreads! Neadless to say, I've had to order a couple sets of controller ports! Mad

(Not as nice as realmccloys' xbox but not too bad for a first timer)

I don't do any drilling mate! I have a tutorial that I'll put together for you. Somehow I'll arrange the pics too. I got an awesome tutorial from the xboxrepairguide.com. You have to pay 9.99 for the guide, but it got me on my way nicely.

Anyway, I'll see what I can dig up.

Later bud

Hi Guys,

I bought my XBOX Orange Ports (see my avatar <<-----) from customxbox.net and they had lights already in them.. All i had to do was remove my existing JoyPad Ports from the front of my xbox and replace the whole unit with the new ones.. Took about 2 minutes flat..

Keep at it boys.. Its good to have a unique xbox of your very own.

Just ordered the repair guide and it's definatly cool. I was only shipped one light for each controller port, where the manuel shows 4 lights per controller port! Did I get ripped off? I orderd my lights from xpsmods.com. (Not hearing good thing about this place)
Anyway, my new ports should be ariving soon and I'll let you know how it goes.

catch ya later

I knew you would like that guide!! It is indeed awesome. It really helped me feel more comfortable with some case mods.

I am in the process of testing out what two LED's look like versus four. I just figure if I can go without notching the lower part of each port and wiring the two extra LED's then that would just save so much time.

I am thinking one LED on each side would look good. Granted, four would be wicked bright..HA.

later man

Dude, two LED's is ample...more than ample. I just got done wiring up two LED's in each controller port and man, it's bright as hell!

Also, it seems the owners of customxbox.net launched a new site called

www.123leds.com

I bought a crap load today cuz the prices were better than my other vendor. I would imagine that the prices will be going up shortly so get'em while their bright and hot!!

later all
