I have a pioneer avr-a04 and a plexcombo drive that i would like to change the leds to white or blue. But those leds are like so tiny they dont even resemble 5mm or 3mm leds. What shouldi do??

get a voltmeter.. find out how many volts are running though it.. and from there u can find out what voltage type blue or white 3mm led u can use..

Your drive probably uses Surface Mount LED's (SMD) .. you might try finding a replacement at Digikey:

They have a good catalog of various LED's too. Search around. You can probably also get a 2mm LED in there too, but it depends. Might be tricky soldering it to the original mounts.

smd's are really hard to replace though
as in like solder onto the board
