seems like easy money, thise buttons have and voltage leads?

assuming the buttons are semi-transparant, all you'd need is 4 colored LED's, maybe a little wire, a soldering iron, and a few minutes.

Even "I" could figure out where to hook up the LED's after poking around in the stick for a couple minutes. ...and I've virtually no electronics skills what-so-ever.

well Happ has replacement ones with the LED already in them but requires 14V DC. is there that kinda voltage, or now that i think of it room ina NG controller.

looks like the next rainy day project.

14V?

That's an odd voltage. Controllers typically have +5V in them, but if they are LED's I'm sure they don't need a full 14V
