OK well i know i am looking for positive on the coolrunner so i will use a multi meter and then solder it to positive then the other end of the wire to the Debug LED positive. So in theory you don't need a diode cause you are just moving the LED from the coolrunner to the RF board
Refer to the pics in the OP. Rev B version is the same install method as the Rev A version just a different point on the CR. The picture of the location is in the OP.
YES YOU NEED THE DIODE.

Trust me it does weird things without it on boot. Or don't listen and watch what happens.
Its going positive to positive and you don't want the current going back to the CR.
Please if you do this use the points used in the OP. It has been revised to fit both versions and shouldn't cause any issues.
Either way I'd use a diode. They're really cheap don't risk not using one.
Put it this way when the ROL goes in it cycle during boot its sending pulses back into the CR.

OK i will see if i might have one lying around, if not i will buy one any chance on a picture of the diode to help me look for it? oh and on my Phat console RF board there is only 4 leds in the ring so i would need to add the debug one next to Player 4 or i will have a green not lighting up

Use a diode guys they can be salvaged from alost anything thats scrap and its just better for your cr.

My phat console only has 4 LED's in the ring of light and they are different they have 3 contacts on them and they are bigger, so i would like to add the yellow LED from my spare Nand X programmer. Here is a picture of my type of ROLhttp://www.google.ca/imgres?q=rev+f+ROL+board&start=108&um=1&hl=en&biw=1264&bih=590&tbm=isch&tbnid=TVNea22izZSyDM:&imgrefurl=http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D613193&docid=kGFs4iXQP4bn1M&imgurl=http://diy.sickmods.net/images/rol.jpg&w=498&h=601&ei=Qo9uT4zOOrPYiQK0-vT3BA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=735&vpy=209&dur=97&hovh=247&hovw=204&tx=139&ty=136&sig=100104990481728064456&page=5&tbnh=137&tbnw=114&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:108

Why dont you purchase SMD lights and solder them on which requires some skills
Superspeed, can you take a photo of the reverse of your ROL board please
I'll go to an electrical store today and buy the diode you mention and some wire, hopefully I don't screw this up lol
Am I essentially routing a wire from the CR (rev B) area as shown on the OP image, to the player 4 positive led? Why do I need a diode? (teach me )
Any way to route the wire to the middle LED like in the video?
