Cheers, I've got a good idea on the volts to give it but how many amps does it need? I thought a 9v battery ran the risk of blowing the LED's but from what you're saying this is sounding like a viable option. I've got a 9v 550mAh battery I could try.
I'm thinking I could plug the sensor bar into the Wii and take a photo to see how bright it is. I could then do my mod, take another photo and check the brightness against the first photo. If its brighter I know its gonna burn out but if its dimmer and still works I should be golden. I can solder but I don't have any other electronics skills or tools so I can't really test it the way you're suggesting.
I'm even thinking of trying to find some female connectors for the sensor bar (maybe from a broken Wii) so I can try multiple ways without butchering the original connector and cable but I guess I could just try it one way and then another re-soldering inside the case of the sensor bar each time and keep the original cable intact.
