I soldered all the wiring as @markpoon suggested. i separated the strap stitching from the top and bottom and slid the EL in to the area where i cut out the "Rhombus" shape for the Nike logo. DO NOT DO the soldering of the inverter wire to the EL until you cut a hole in the strap to slide the wiring in (as show in the picture above). This makes it easier for you to hide the wiring inside the strap and slide it out of the hole in the back. Since the stitching is impossible to put back, i was able to use ELMERS SPRAY ON GLUE to reglue both pieces of the strap back together. Regarding the back strap shell, I secured the soldered wires with a glue gun as well as gluing them to the back of the strap shell. I also cut a small hole for the inverter to sit as well as the switch at the top.

Here you can see how i cut a small box for the the switch as well as using a glue gun the secure it down. Easy access for turning it on. Even with all the components, it doesn't seem to take up much room in the back of the shoe.

It doesn't look too bad from the back and is hardly noticeable.

Overall, i am satisfied with the results.

Sweet job on the strap conversion Bennyvalle07. I am waiting on my own HC and parts to modify the shoe. I am wondering however for this strap fix did the thread on the stitching come out and expose small holes? That was one of my concern but I figured it may be inevitable when opening this strap version. Thanks for any info.

I was able to cut through the straps with an Exacto knife. The threading did stay in after i cut it and even when i glued everything back together. A few days later though i started noticing that some of the threading was in fact falling out. It still looks good without it in my opinion.

Oh alright makes sense. I'm debating whether I would want to remove the threading completely for consistency or go through the trouble of recreating the front side of the strap with a new piece that won't have the holes for accuracy. Thanks for the info, appreciate the response!

Re: Nike MAG Strap Upgrade Kit

Mark, would you consider making glow-in-the-dark Nike decals for those who are unwilling to cut out the straps and the buckles, but still want a Nike logo that emits light?
You could even sell them together with the decals you are already making, so people who don't have anything yet can just pay a single shipment ;)

Yeah I might go the glow in the dark route too. Currently looking for a good place to buy the GITD sheet. Something like this... image.jpg
