Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds

I just did the mod with some magic markers
Took me about 10 mins to dissasemble, re-assemble.
Although its about 75% as bright as stock, Its
"Just" right :P Here is a Blurricam pic:

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds

Magic Markers Rule!
Although the colors aren't as Vibrant
as replacing the leds.. It does work
pretty well. I am not trying to take away
the spotlight here.. As the OP did a Fine
job of replacing the leds the "Right" way
I was just being laazy

Took a Better picture =D>

Ok, so I used your suggestion and I colored the LED's with sharpie. Except, they came out very light [see image] I want them to be vibrant like yours! [esp. the end key]

How did you make those colors so deep?

The sharpies I used are pictured:









Sorry they're blurry... It may look red, but its really pink/pastel-like

Ideas? Do I use a darker sharpie? These are BRAND NEW markers!

Re: My touch pro mod - L.E.Ds

Oopsie.. Forgot to add that in

You have to "Layer" the marker coloring..
When you color the leds, Just "Blot" them
with the tip of the marker. Let each layer
dry before doing another. It takes about 4
blots to get a nice and deep color. If you
just colored them like you normally use a
marker, Or pen for that matter.. Then every
time you pass over the same spot, The
marker "Wipes" off the previous spot..
Thats why you have to just "Blot" it.
Or, its called "Dabbing".. meethinks?
