So I got my hands on some blue/red bi-color LEDs and I want to change out the LEDS on the front panel of my xbox.
Does anyone know how to tell what color is which leg? the ground leg is longer than the others, but the other two legs are not the same leg. Can I pretty much only install and then test?

there are little notches in the led's themself, and anotations on the power eject pcb board. Look close where the leds go, and you will see. The negitive is the middle leg, so you can't reverse the polarity by accident. _________________

The annotation on the board are for the green. f you decide to use a 5mm orange light - don't - I have a post that shows what I had to do to make it work.

Yeah, I know how to line them up on the board, and I ended up just putting them in to test. What I was asking about was how I know which leg on the LED itself controls which color. For example, if the front LED is set to be green, and I have the shortest leg on the top, will I get blue or red? But yeah, I just soldered them in to test. Had to cut and remove them cause it was backwards the first time.
Thanks though.
