Step 3: The wires we will be modifying are the yellow and black cables

Step 4: Strip a small section of the Yellow (5v) and Black (Ground) wire

Step 5: Solder all the leds to the wires you have.

Step 6: Solder a wire to the Yellow and Black wire and hot glue it to the side of the case.

Step 7: Hot glue all the leds in the spots you would like them to be

Step 8: Solder all the wires and leds together. Make sure that each led is attached to a wire coming from the yellow wire, and the other part of the led coming from the black wire. then reassemble your case.

I'm actually planning on running a connection between lights inside my 360 to lights inside the hard drive with multi color LEDs and a remote. I just need to figure out how to run the cable through the case. I haven't taken mine apart yet. Any ideas?
