I'm in no way trying to take credit for this mod. The original post can be found here: http://forums.x10.com/index.php?topic=13542.0
I had done this mod myself (and it works). And thought it would be nice to have pictures of the steps, in case someone else wanted to try it. :' A picture is worth a 1000 Words......... If you follow the steps that James S listed in the his post you should have NO problems.

This mod is pretty simple to do.. For the "Jumper Wires", I just used short pieces from the DS10A... I know my "soldering" needs a little work in the pictures, :)% but it has improved since these were taken.
>! Well I hope if anyone was thinking about trying this mod that this post will help..............
