[DIYbio] Curious about creating glowing plants

First off, I've only taken freshman biology, I have no idea what I am doing at a professional level.

Alright, I think I have an idea for making glowing plants. I was thinking I could use this -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrobacterium_tumefaciens#Beneficial_uses With a 35S promoter (Which I can illegally get with some GMO food if I can find the right primers). Ill take the promotor and the Lux cassete from somewhere and insert it into the agro t-area which will inject it into the plant DNA.

What I don't know is

1.) How to get the 35S promoter primers
2.) How to stick the promotor on the luxABCD gene.
3.) How to isolate the t-area and integrate it into the phage cell.

 I just put this together myself. But it seems possible right?
