Okay, so I am using the banggood powerboost and I want to add the LED's so that they are visible. My question is how do you wire them exactly? Mounting the LED's = no problem, however which LED's get wired to where on the banggood board? It looks like there are 3 open spots but no documentation that I can find indicating which spot is for what purpose. ANy advice would be great.
The goal is to stash the power supply internally and run wires to 3 leds mounted somewhere on the shell to indicate, charging, fully charged and power on.
Thanks in advance!

This is the banggood powerboost:

I was actually looking at mine last night and was wondering about LED's too, since the stock LED is teeny and not easy to see. I would also appreciate to learn any info on this.

is it not possible to solder off the original leds, and extend them with some wires?
my gbz is completed, but i miss the feedback of the powerboost (if it is turned on, charging, full, etc)

not sure - they are so small its tough but there are open spots which appear to be for LEDs but i am not sure about what one is what etc..

So would you just wire the LED's directly to the board? Or do you need to have any resistors etc...I don't know much about wiring LED's.

I would put a resister on before the led saves it burning out in the long run
