Default My 8100 LED Mod

Please Login to Remove!

I know y'all have seen all the Sharpie mods but I did something a little different.
I used gels. Now for those of you who are not into lighting, those are the things that give you the different colors on the stage of you favorite rock concert. I went to my local music store and bought a pack for 5 bucks. Which is cheaper than a pack of Sharpies. I cut out 4 strips, one of each color and voila instant colored LED's.
Now the reason I say to use gels is, what if you feel like changing colors. Well you have to get out the denatured alcohol and hope nothing gets messed up in the process. With these just remove the tiny pieces of tape and add new color. Here is the finished product. I'll take some pics of the inside later. I did the mod first to make sure it would look ok.
I used one of each color. Green, Blue, Red, Yellow. I also put tiny pieces on the trackball led's to try to make the color more vivid. I don't think it worked as well as I would have liked on the trackball but 'c'est la vie'. I also use colorball on custom with all colors lit up.

Enjoy

Added 2 pics of the inside so you can see the gel
