Ok theres some things u need to know before u do this mod, there is many ways u can do this, i will show u some. First will be making the B button light up when your wiimote rumbles. 2nd is making it light up all the time. (sorry for any mis-spelled words)
What you need: 3mm LED light, Tri-wing screwdriver, Soldering gun with wire, Copper wire
First take apart ur wiimote, then take out ur B button, Bend ur LED somewhat like this or like i did---> then solder wire to the LED ends make the wire about 1 1/2 inchs long. Insert your LED into the B button You can either remove the far bottom clip like i did or just put it by the clip.(what i did was once i removed the clip i took my solder iron and poked a hole threw the tube)  ] (mine)
then once u have Your LED in your B button and your wire soldered on the LED put your PCB back on the buttom part of your wiimote (make sure u have your wire out to the right for the vibrating feature) Then youll see the wire for the rumble and a small + and - on top of the PCB and solder the wire form the LED to the PCB(i would test this out before final solder)  and once thats done reassamble ur wiimote and test it out
P.S. to have the B button light up all the time solder it to these test points 
my youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M6cHJIr65k
If u have any questions just ask me, hope u enjoy ur new mod and i am not responsable if you mess up you wiimote  have fun |

weldone loki nice tutorial   i would cover them wires up with some electrical tape you don't wont any of the wire touching a part of the circuit board and corseing a short and try moving your light a bit it seems to be really bright at the bottom and less at top when i did the b button a bit ago i found if you put the led side ways nearly in the middle of the button it all lights up the same just about anyway nice mod and what you doing next  |

| next im going to do the nunchuck again when i get it (still need C and Z tut) and another one is that im going to put 4 different leds around the A button and attach them to the player indicator (with resisters of course) and also im going to make one wiimote have the a and b button light up all the time and another light up when rumbled so i might end up with 5 wiimotes lol. What im doing to my wii is pretty cool to, im putting UV lights in place of the blue ones so it glows UV when i get a message. |
