What do you want to know? The LEDs are of type PLCC 2. They are surface mount (SMD). To change the LEDs, I used a soldering iron with a very thin tip. To remove the OEM LEDs, you can either use 2 irons or just quickly alternate between the 2 sides of the LED until all the solder is melted and the LED slides off. (This can be tricky at first.)

Clean the mounting plates with some soldering wick and solder on the new ones.

Sadly I don't have any more pics. It's quite a big job so I didn't want to extend it by taking photos every 2 seconds.
