Exactly what kind of modding are you planning to do?

Did you want to change the case or add LEDs to it?

Well first off I'd recommend that you change the DS case, mostly because LEDs through a black case are unseeable.  White buttons on a black case would give it a soft look.  Next I'd gather up the right supplies:

~ DS replacement case http://www.consoleshop.com/product.php?productid=16879 (http://www.consoleshop.com/product.php?productid=16879)
~ triwing screwdriver
~ 0603 LEDs (in whatever colour you want)  http://www.smtleds.net/ds/smd-0603/ (http://www.smtleds.net/ds/smd-0603/)
~ kynar wire for soldering
~ a soldering iron (no greater then 30 watts)
~ 60/40 soldering iron
~ soldering flux

Now that you have all that sit down and look around the site some lovely tutorials.

For tutorials in AM on how to do it.  Hope this helps.
