Trigger happy LED mod

Wii remote modders won't rest until they've installed fluorescent lighting on every button and pad, decorating the controller like some kind of rectangular christmas tree. Today's DIY project adds an LED to the usually unseen B button behind the remote.
WiiCade forumer Loki has instructions and a photo tutorial on how to plant an LED under your own Wiimote's trigger. You can set the button to light up all the time or when the controller rumbles, whichever your fancy. Check past the post break for video of the glowing mod.

totally and utterly pointless.

That's freaking cool. Despite what Doug says.
I like the idea of it blinking when it rumbles.... Too bad I'm too scared to give this a shot, lol.

Someone should just end this by installing something that will make their entire Wiimote glow like a firefly on crack.
Or failing that, either a glow-in-the-dark or clear plastic wiimote case mod.

I like things that light up as much as the next kid with ADD, but who's even going to be able to see it? It's on the back of the controller, and your finger will be covering most of it up.

This is pretty good idea. I have read something like this from
http://www.lunaraccents.com/technology-programmable-LED-controller.html
but this company have a minimum order which is not something I want to pay for.
