feel free to do what you wont with this tutorial sell modded nuchucks for all i care just give me credit for it as the creator and link everyone here to use it can't wait to see what others come up with.
led nunchuck tutorial
this is a tutorial is for putting led in the nunchuck under the stick
What you’ll need:
one nunchuck
A Triwing Screwdriver
Needle Nose Pliers
one 3mm LED in your choice of colour
Soldering Iron and Solder
Electrical Tape
Step 1:
useing the Triwing Screwdriver carefully unscrew and take
off the nunchuck shell.
step 2:
This mod will center around two test points
step 3:
You’ll need to use your pliers to bend the leads of the LED as shown
wrap a small amount of Electrical tape around the exposed leads
step 4:
place the led on the circuit board like shown on pic and solder the leads on to the two test point Keep in mind LED's have polarity Make sure your + and - go to the correct sides of the "test points." The side of the led that is flat is the negative side. Another way to identify the sides is to look at lead length. The shorter lead is the - and the longer lead is the +..make sure the led light does not go past the white analog box leave it alone for five mins to make sure the solder has set properly
step 5:
useing the triwing screwdriver again screw the nunchuck back together.
step 6:
plug the nunchuck into the wiimote and turn it on if you have done it right your analog stick will now glow.
you now have a modded nunchuck! 
if you have any problems please feel free to ask me for help

Yeah, this is a very nicely done tutorial. Keep in mind this will void any warranties you have on the nunchucks, but seeing as they're $20 it's not a huge risk, at least.
Does anyone know where I can pick up some decent LEDs that'll match the Wiimote's blue LED color? |

Thanks for the cool tutorial..I had a few questions though if you don't mind...
looking at this site:
http://ledshoppe.com/led3mm.htm
there are 3 prongs..whats the middle one for? Where does that go?
Do I need resistors for this to make it work more reliably?
Lastly, Could I use 5mm or 10mm?
Thanks |

i got a pack of 100 ULTRA BRIGHT BLUE 3mm LEDs 7000mcd NEON LED off ebay for £13 or you can get them in packs of ten for around £3

don't no about the three prongs i have only used the led that has two prongs so i can't answer that one.i don't think you need a resistors for this as its more or les the same mode as the Easy A Button Backlight Mod on www.WiimoteMods.com it shouldn’t be too much of a problem since most led flashlight keychains don’t use one either, a person on www.WiimoteMods.com tested a 5mm led and said it worked with and without a resistor but if you do it with a 5mm led i would use one. |
