XCM Controller Lights fix

I'm not sure if the LEDs were changed or if the board came this way, but a little more delicacy soldering the SMD LEDs wouldn't go amiss. I don't know if this happened in postage but you can see the LED at D4 is missing and has lifted a pad. It's repairable, but I don't have any LEDs to replace the missing one so it'll have to be left alone this time around

3 wires - VCC, GND and K (Yellow, Green and Orange respectively) needed to be soldered to their points again. Quick and easy, 5 minute job

The final product there, lights work again so it's job done
