I did one of Manny's COI Light mods on a BCT15 of mine, not fun!
I did find a way to make it a little easier by tracing the connection points to the other side of the board. This way you can tack-solder the connections instead of trying to solder onto component leads.
See this picture for the connection points:

All that said, Manny was right, it is a bear to remove the face plate, not only do you need to pull out the ribbon connector, but there are also several wire harnesses, 5 screws and the 3 knobs with the retaining nuts. There is barely room for the LED but once it is in it works great!
