For those looking to lighten up their Xbox 360 experience, KingMike of AcidMods built this push button activated LED mod for 360 controllers. Adapted from jrfhoutx’s PSP effort, the mod lights up any of the four keypad buttons when pressed. It’s a very neat effect when playing games under dark or dim light conditions, as you can see in the video demonstration above.

Head on over to AcidMods for a pinout diagram and instructions on how to implement this mod yourself. Keep in mind it will take a bit of soldering know-how.
