Yes it is possible to wire that up. The VAFC controllers do that same thing.
You can try splicing in an LED by putting the positive end on the solonoids green\yellow wire, and just grounding the other. Im not too clear if that will work, being the the VTEC solonoid doenst use 12 volts exactly, something significantly less, i cant give you an exact number, soemthing around 3.5 volts or someting i believe, but in other words, if you use an LED that requires 12 volts, it may not light up correctly. You can still give it a shot tho.

Pin (A4 (I think)) on the ECU goes to the VTEC spool solenoid for power/activation. Put a light on that wire some place and it'll turn on when the ECU sends the signal to the solenoid for VTEC to engage. It's relatively simple, I've seen it a few times when people got overly bored.
