Step 5Glue in the LEDs
The top and bottom row of LEDs are Red, and will be connected together to light up simultaneously.
The left and right side are Yellow LEDs, and will also be connected together.
This will allow the red and yellow LEDs to be flashed separately.
Insert the LEDs into the holes, and glue them in. I started with superglue, but after noticing that it was taking a long time to dry because it was acting as a solvent to the NES controller plastic, I switched to a different type of glue. The superglue seemed to still work ok, it just takes a while to dry. Hopefully I didn't use enough to affect the integrity of the plastic.
I might file the LEDs down closer to the exterior surface, such that they don't stick out quite as far. This will also diffuse the light.
