WireyWhenWet Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The LEDs in almost all switches require soldering to remove and replace with other colours, whilst in order to do so the switches themselves will require removal and careful disassembly. Some are easier to get to, remove and disassemble than others, but they're so varied and you have to err on the side of caution with regards to resistance values as going overboard could result in drawing too much or too little current from one circuit which can have some impact - Red for example will pull less power than Green, but it all depends what you want to do and given the copious amounts of combinations you might be hard pressed to find an easy guide that covers enough to keep things basic and risk free. Which in particular are you wanting to swap out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm not sure on that one (yet..) but it's something I'm looking at in the bear future; if it manage to get round to it on mine I'll make a guide but it's not quite the top of my list at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WireyWhenWet Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The only one I've come across recently when looking has been this one. I vaguely remember seeing something else quite some time ago, but I can't seem to find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
