How to Install Aurora Lights on a 360

In a lot of ways, video game consoles are similar to automobiles. For one, both are highly customizable and have aftermarket products to produce a unique look. Similar to putting new HID lights on a vehicle, the Xbox 360 can be fitted with "aurora lights" that improve the look of the console. Installing these lights can be tough for a beginner, but it's a simple task for those familiar with taking apart the Xbox 360 console.
