I had to hook my leds up to the battery because i have a newer controller . and if i tried to pick up from the trigger 1.5v the triggers activated or the controller shut down .

You did this mod pretty cool but I have a few questions.

You add the joule thief, excellent idea, but witch kind of transistor did you used? 2N3904? 2N4401?
All white leds 3mm for the guide button and 5mm white for the ABXY?

Sorry but my english is not very good and when I listen to the video I'm losing some parts.

Can you make a very simple draw with the connection scheme? Or can you help me to build one? I can make a tutorial with that.

Again, I think the joule thief is one of the greatest Ideas.

Another thing, which resistor did you used? 180ohm for leds and 1kohm for the joule?
