Hi I thought I'd show you a little mod I made to my beloved XBOX
Basically this came about when all my mates got the idea of getting panels cut in there PC's so as they could highlight the guts of there pc with a neon or similar.
Being an XBOX nut I wanted one inside mine so as that it could shine through the air vents and look mad at night.
Sadly due to space restrictions inside the box I found that the light would have to be mounted on the exterior.
I decided to place mine on the front below the Joypad ports.
As the light is a little wide it elevate the XBOX a little but this is great as it lets the light shine under the XBOX and creates a mad effect on the walls at night.
Originally I had the ON/OFF switch fitted permanently on inside the box, But after a few days my eyes were taking a beating and so I mounted it by my modchip so as to control it.
The light is great because now u can play games in the dark and when you want to change discs just flick the switch and you have a bright enough area to see what your doing.
Installation is quite simple (sorry no pics I lost my Screwdriver)
Basically drill or glue the light to the front of the box
Feed the cable frm the light through the air vent and through the metal casing to the left of the box so as that it pokes out and can be connected to the PCB.
Next connect the power connector before the HDD and feed the wire the same way as the light to the PCB.
And there U have your light is ready

PS I would show you the light working but I dropped the box and blew the bulb while taking pics for you :(
