I have a silver free initiate with a blue blade and a second free initiate with a white blade -so they don't match (::eye twitch
. My mystery box Dominix v4 with came with a blue blade which made me feel odd having a Sith looking hilt with a Jedi looking color. I have no right to complain; these are good benefits/lucky pulls - but the colors were...well, "wrong."
I took a look at the LED parts for sale on the US webpage. I noticed that these blades all had the same/swapable LED model. So, despite my nerves about ruining 2 perfectly good sabers, I bought some connecters on Amazon and swapped the white LED from the free initiate and the blue LED in my Dominix. I am pleased to say that I was successful!
The process was straight forward and relatively simple. The LEDs connect via 2 wires (red and black). This was true with both my free initiate (no sound) and the Dominix v4 (sound; Obsidian Light I believe). There was a generous extra length of wire in each of the sabers. I clipped the wires and added the connectors. Now I can easily swap them at any time without tape or tools. These are the connectors that I used:

I encourage folks to play around with modifications if you feel comfortable 😊
