If you are interested in this mod, please keep in mind the first problem we encountered. On latitudes the third light is bi-colored, green when battery is good and yellow when it's nearly dead. This LED takes some tricky wiring to get to work.
Funny this thread should come up, my friends and I just got done social engineering our selves a handfull of SMT Blue LEDs last week from LEDtronics. While taking apart my Latitude we noticed how cool it would be to mod out the three status lights. This is a totally do-able mod just as long as you're good with a soldering iron and have a magnifying glass handy.
