I’m portuguese too and all I want to say is that this man rocks!!!
I’ll translate a bit to you, is quite simple:

Just need a 3mm LED (Blue and pink are the best ones according to the guy) a screwdriver and a soldering machine…
Just connect the 2 wires of the LED with the soldering machine to the TP1 and TP2 dots that you see on the back of the board of your wiimote… And that’s it!

simple and clean!

Explanation how to put a LED on A botton at wiimote

Stuff that you will need_
TriWii Screwdriver (WWW.DEALEXTREME.COM and the SKU number for the screwdrivers is 2905..Type that in the top search bar and it should pop up. They cost 1.48 and its FREE shipping.
3mm LED (this one its 5mm but i mood it but the right one is 3mm) choose your color
Soldering iron a soldering wire

The LED shold be worked to have this form.
Start to remove this 4 screws that im showing, pull that 2 thinks that are holding that white piece and just stay with the board in your hand,
what we will soldering: the positive in TP 202 and the negative in TP 302 and you can use those two conections to do other mods such as the B botton and the rumble mod,
Start with a pre-soldering the TP202 and TP302 points.
Now we will put the LED int this possition and make sure that its touching the TP points.
Start soldering the points.
Now we have here the LED already solded and we will start putting the pieces togeter again.
The LED that i used is too weak for this mod but try to use the blue or the pink that should work out just fine.
