think it would work to light up a raider pro blue joystick hack?

Thanks,

Led huh?

Sounds like its a multi colour LED with an acrylic bar on the end of it to diffuse the light. I wonder what it would look like if you made your own. 1 LED with a plastic bar on the end. I'll admit it does seem to diffuse nicely but it may be really easy to make the same effect. Worth a try......

Well thoese LED only go real bright cause when they r turned off u see streaks of the led colour in the plastic tube it has blue lines insides all around the LED so whent he blue lights up it just runs along the blue thats how it glows so i woudlnt get 1 but it be easy for u to get the blue leds from radio shack or whatever altho i think a small light bulb with the blue cover might do a better job or even a small 12v fluro lamp like the car 1's :)
