Also, the LEDs are replaced with a modular system that allows different colours to be installed. [In this case, white]. Stabilizers clipped and lubed.
STEP 3
104 Brand-new Aqua Zilents directly from ZealPC are soldered into the board.

You can see the new white LEDs illuminating surrounding switches. The light-blue Aqua Zilents housings give the LED a slight blue tint.
