this is what i came across so far
Quote:
parts needed:

PS3 controller
3mm LED (or 5mm if you want a really bright light, its a tight squeeze)
some wire
some solder
some patience


First you need to solder some short wires to the PCB board @ the "5" hole on the right side, and at the leg where the red wire plugs into the middle of the board. you will then solder an led to these 2 wires, do this while the controller is on so you can make sure it works. If you are using a 3mm or 5mm rather than the size eb used, you must melt or cut the black piece of plastic that is a cylinder under the PS button. It is the cylinder that the clear rubber piece slides into. This will allow the LED to sit in this cylinder directly under the PS button. you will also have to cut the part of the clear rubber piece that goes down into this cylinder. Leave enough to where it still sits in the rubber holster. After this is all done you should be able to just close it up and be done. BEFORE you put it all back together put the analog sticks back on the board and make sure they dont hit the wires to the LED (this happened to me and I had to make some adjustments.
