Take the cap off the bottle and drill 2 holes the size of your leds and use super glue to glue them in place. Then solder the two leds in series and add the resistor.

The Liquid

Add 1/4 of tide detergeant to the Bottle then fill the rest with tap water. Let the foam die down.

Make It Work

Well sprite bottles are green and the bleach glows blue which creates a nice gradient of color between the too since the water is murky the light dies down.
