We have featured LED mods for the Wii remote in the past, but today we have a tutorial for adding colored LEDs to your Wii nunchuck! Despite the instructional photos and well-documented walkthrough, we wouldn't suggest this sort of hardware hacking to an electronics novice. You won't have much to brag about if you accidentally set your circuit board on fire or unintentionally scar yourself with a triwing screwdriver. Hey, it could happen! "MCWORLD!"If you happen to be skilled with a soldering iron though, this tweak might be for you. Following the tutorial, your nunchuck should have a swank LED glow right underneath the thumbstick whenever you've got it attached to a Wii remote in use. You'll be the talk of the town!

I would do this, but I don't have a triwing screwdriver :(. Mind you, if I had one of those I would have modded my Game Boy Pocket ages ago. And fixed my PKMN Silver cartridge. Something for the shopping list then...

Unbelievable mod. Wish I could find an extra one in the stores to test on. They're sold out along with wii remotes.

I must really be missing out on some cash. I see Wii nunchucks all over the place in my area. Considering how many people continually b!tch about not finding any, I need to start picking some up and throwing them on eBay or something. :/
But, no, I won't be taking the chance on this one either.

I think it is fun to have something like this at home.
