Modifying or changing power and hdd LED color on NZXT S340

I have an NZXT S340 case that is the black/blue version. I am wanting to spray paint the blue parts, pink, and was wondering if it was possible in any way to change the color of the power button led and hdd led to a pink color or possible put a new led in its place. if its not possible its not a huge deal to me but if theres a way to do it, fairly easily and not too expensive i would LOVE to know! :)

You could if you remove the I/O PCB and cut out and solder on new LED's just be sure to check the fwd voltage of the LED's you use since the PC outputs around 3.3V and current limited.

Should be doable, I did the same thing to my Define R4. I'd be surprised if you couldn't. Just check the voltage rating, is all.

Do you think there is any way to link or type out a small tutorial on cutting out and soldering on removing the specific leds for this case? and also what is the safezone for the fwd voltage for the leds that i will have to get? Not huge on lighting, thats why i sound like i know nothing about it, because thats more or less the case.

For the front panel it depends on the LED's if it's just regular diode type LED's all it needs is a replacement that's the same diameter LED. For Fwd voltage just make sure it's rated for ~3.3V since that's what the front motherboard connection outputs.

 

This here has a good table where it specifies the fwd voltage of the dioides they sell:

This guide is ok at explaining the concept:

This.. If you can't find a pink led, just use a defused white one..
