thats kind of a realy poinless question but sure since ive never opened an x-box before im sure ill be able to help... branch the leds off of the power light... seams simple you wont have to do any thing special juts soulder strate of the power led.

and in the future I hope more people wont ask for pointless mods like that or the one guy who emailed me about putting feet on his nes

you need to know how much Volt's the LEDs cann handle
you need to know how much Volt's the x-box put's out where you want to hook the LEDs
than you can calculate the correct Resistor value.

if x-box puts out 5 volts resistor has to be 83 Ohm
