HD: access the disk when you want it lit, don't access the disk when you
don't want it lit.  I mean it, forget about messing with this LED.

Numlock/capslock: talk to the emulated KDC, any linux utility to mess
with keyboard LEDs should do.

WLAN: hack the wireless card driver.

Bluetooth: no idea if it is possible, maybe it is under the control of
the bluetooth dongle driver like the WLAN LEDs usually are under the
control of the wlan card driver.   You can probably abuse it by screwing
around with the ACPI bluetooth switch as long as the hardware rfkill
switch is not blocking it, but I think this could be very bad for your
hardware in the long run.  It was NOT made to be used so often.

They're not nasty, YOU are the one trying to do nasty things to them.
