hey guys! I've seen some ppl with their xbox power LED glowing blue. Recently, I opened my front panel and saw that the LEDs had 3 legs, where can you get these 3 legged LEDs????

::sigh:: 1 of the legs is for grounding. Look at the pinned topics...

if im correct i believe there are three legs because they are dual color leds

you are correct sir

they're bi-colored leds. each color has its own positive leg, and they share the middle one as the negative leg

Not according to this diagram :

how do you figure they cant share the power and have different ground because ground is ground and they wouldnt change color

deac... trust me those diagrams are right...

Just if you want differnet colors go to customxbox and get a new front pannel

well most people know what the +ive and -ive sides of an led look like (if you dont you can simply look at one) and you can clearly see on the pic that there are 2 +ive 'bits' on the outsides and a -ive in the middle
so thats proof the diagrams are right lol
