Default Fan Controller Mod

What I have here is a Nexus 3x Fan Controller w/Cold Cathode control (sound active or steady).

What I have planned for this thing is as follows:

Disassemble
Replace green plexi with clear plexi
Replace 3mm 4x White LEDs with 3mm 2x red & 2x blue
Replace mic with something more sensitive (have to turn my music -WAY- up for it to react as is)
-edit- Mount into side panel -edit-

What I'm not sure about doing is the LED replacement (which side is pos and which side is neg?)
And the mic replacement...I read something a few days ago about replacing the mic with some sort of LED, but frankly, I didn't really understand the post. I was pretty tired at the time if I remember correctly, but as is, I can't find that thread. Any ideas or knowledge anyone wants to share?

Oh, I would have pics...but the cam I bought isn't even worth the $50 bucks I shelled out for it. *sigh*

Thanks in advance,

~ Duane

That's almost the exact one I have, aside from the obvious differences from what I listed.
And I wanna thank MasterP for giving me the idea of mounting it into my side panel instead of having it take up 1 of my 4 5.25 bays.

Found that while searching for the aforementioned post that informed of using some sort of LED in place of the speaker for sound control...probably wasn't using the right keywords...
