VCI100 arcade led mod
hey guys im soon to be doing the arcade mod and using the clear rim buttons and so wish to have led feedback on the rim but im unsure what style of led to use or how to mount them to achieve this so some advise would be welcome
i no the remaining leds need to be 3v 3mm 2 post leds though
already watched that video its no real help though as my arcade buttons are clear rimmed like the MF3D

Yeah, I’m trying to do the same. Has someone put RGB leds in the clear rimmed sanwa buttons?
How did you do this? did you just use rgb leds? 5mm? did you drill holes?
you should’ve videotaped how you did it 
Not 100% sure, as i haven’t dove too deep into this, but I looked for modding my MF classic at one point. Hope this helps http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/button-leds/582-pele-24mm-led-rings.html
I just followed the excellent bcondemi tutorial (posted above) exactly, the only thing differences where that my unit was an original vci-100ege which had the blue/white LED colour scheme as apposed to the green/orange LED of the standard VCI and I didnt do molex connections I just soldered everything permanent.
I chose blue and white LEDs for the slice echo cue but put in red/white for the play buttons to make them more distinguishable.
Another plus of the seimetsu is the ability to put your on printed inserts inside the buttons
Your arcade Vci was a beauty! Love the mod! 
How did you do each of the button LEDs, as in the stock buttons up top?
