How to change the color of an LED?

I see. This is the "LED backlight module" intended to reduce light losses of LED. It can still work with discrete LED, although with complications. You need to:
1) Cut the existing LED clear from diffusor plate using knife or heavy-duty nail cutter.
2) Either use "right angle" packaged LED, or bend leads of your LED to look sideways into diffusor panel
3) Connect LED lens and diffusor plate with a drop of transparent acrylic or silicone adhesive (recommended)

Well trurle super helped me and I sent my led to him and he fixed it. Yes, I shipped it to him in Japan. No one could do this here in the USA that I could find and if I did it myself it would have been destroyed. Here’s a pic but I will get better ones later. Thank you trurle!
