Nice work. This really looks nice. I'm pretty sure someone can get the LEDS from those broken phones on e-bay as long as they haven't gone to the pool. Now does the LEDS are from a pro or can it be fom a different phone as the 6800 or apache?

Hehe, it was in all seriousness a Joke. 100% on purpose. As I've said before I have some experience with these soldering thingies.

LOL I was sort of wondering that too. Politeness won out.

A soldering iron with a small tip, and more than "Skills", I'd say...I think m4d sk1llz is more like it (and at my age, getting me to write something like that means a lot).

I think you should bring it to a Sprint store and complain that your LEDs have started acting funny and see what happens.

Looks great. Reminds me of my old Nextel modding days.

This might not work, but I remember reading a long time ago on how to MOD LED lighting without soldering. Basically, you took some plastic that was the color that you wanted and put it on top of the LED. I don't know if there is enough space in there to do that but it might help...also, if it works, you could take it out if you needed to take it back for an exchange.

Perhaps taking a sharpie of the desired color might also do it.

Again, IDK if that will work, but it was in a tut. that I saw a long time ago.

Like others have said, a sharpie really is the best way to do it...

Once you get it apart is is easy as pie...and trust me it looks awesome!

Plus it is completely reversible, little alcohol on a Q-tip...

If anyone actually tries this but runs into a problem I'll be happy to help, its really not that hard, just give yourself at least an hour if it is your first time taking the phone apart...
