Soldering New LEDs
This is a tricky bit were you must hold the LED in place whilst soldering. All it needs is a 1-2 second touch to either side and it should hold in place. (if not check the connection point, it may have no sol-der on it when bathed it. Add solder by running sol-der over it when the LED
isn't there)
Now put the Battery Pack back into the controller and turn on using the rubber
connection pad.
The new LED Should now be
