I have a soldering iron, two actually lol, actually ones a soldering gun, and it has a cool led torch on the front so that you can see what you're doing... I do know some things about electronics and wiring.. I will practice on an old controller first of course

But it does give a nice idea of what traxor is facing. In other words, reading a circuit-diagram and building it with components he never heared of and with no idea how things actually work.... eg:
Remember that those night-rider mods in those links are easy, eg: they use only 2 or 3 IC's, and they run on a constant power supply, traxors idea will not have that, it will be variable. Traxors idea is much more like a digital VU-meter (<= major tip )
no offense traxor
I hope you will be able to do this mod, it can be great fun. But indeed: practice... practice... practice...
this might be of interest before you attempt to do anything:

thanks for the help, i can seriously use it, and if I need any help, do you mind if I pm you at any time, cause that would really be excellent, i have a lot of course work recently, so I need to have more time on my hands.
And of course theres no offence taken, I might try out the idea on a playstation controller first, but i need to look at the circuitry in both of the controllers, just to see if they're similar or not. If not then... I really don't know
