At the bottom of the second photo above, you can see a Radio Shack Adaptaplug, and an indicator light. The light is green when the plug is attached correctly, red if it's in backwards. Adaptaplug, for some reason, decided not to design it in a way that prevents incorrect attachments.
Anyway, I soldered my LEDs to the other end of the ethernet cable, and wrapped it with tape. Then I started constructing a spiky ball around the end.
