Simple answer is, you can't. There are no holes for the LED legs, and there are no electrical traces in the PCB to power the LEDs.

Often it is quicker and easier just to buy a keyboard with LEDs already installed.  Such as a Ducky Shine.

Then your collection will start to grow ...

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
