Step 10Hack USB plug and attach to LED wires
Slit the plug apart down only one side and peel it off the metal inners.
Remove any rubbery bits and disassemble the plug's inner plastic housing. You will most likely pull off the wires in taking it all apart but no worries, you are going to solder the wires back on. Use the diagram to show you which pin to solder the red and black one to.
reassemble the plug using some hot melt when you put the metal case back on to pot the assembly and then slip the rubber outer back round the metal plug chassis and glue up with Super Glue (it is very good for this and sticks the plug rubber perfectly.
Back fill the plug with a little bit of hot melt to pot the plug up completely.
trim off any glue the squeezed out and use black marker to cover up any white Super Glue residue along the USB plug seam.
