Ever since i got my X-Dreamer II i had been wanting to change the ble lights on the front to red. so they would match my fans. well recently one of the lights went out so i was going to have to replace it anyway and decided to change them all. Check it out

i wasnt able to change the temp guage color, but if you look at the monitor in this picture you can see why it didnt bother me.

Hellz yea i want to but its almost immposable. the backlight is a piece of fiber optic plexi with a blue led inside of it. and it looks ok now and matches the monitor light which i can't change.

How about taking the bezel off and adding a red filter over the top of it? You could use the ones you get from 3D Glasses :)

Try disconnecting the blue LED, and shining a red one at it from various angles. You might get lucky and find a good spot to mount it.

I've never seen this one before. Nice case. Does yours have the temp thing as well? Is it a part of the case, or added? Also, I would have to do something with the empty slots :) Add an 80mm fan and some mesh or something. :D

tried em both, the blue filter turned the light purple. And no matter how hard i tryed i could not get the plastic to light up.
more ideas are welcome it would be awsome to turn this thing red
