Default finally ready for my interior mods

i'm finally ready for doing some interior mods.

here's what im going to do

change all the LED's (dash, radio, A/C, etc.) to red (except for a few that are other colors as indicators)

example of indicators: click here

all red except for a few key things

then i want led lighting in the footwells, and probably in the back (mounted under the front seat)

i would like to put LED's in random places as well...cup holder area, door pockets (the pockets on the bottom of all the doors where u can store your junk), etc.

questions:
can someone help me find the EXACT bulbs i need for my project? i did a lot of research and found some sites, but no accessible at my school, so ill check them out when i get home.

how would i connect my random, strategically placed single LED lights to a power source?

--thanks

yo dogg. heads up. i have blue led's under my dash and glove. dont buy neon tubes or any tubes because there is hardly places to mount them up front. buy these...http://www.partsamerica.com:80/Produ...goryCode=3157A

i dont think mine were that brand, but buy those type for underneath the footwells.

as for the rear...i bought a 15" LED tube and superglued it to the bars underneath the back seats... until put the seats down and since they split 2/3 1/3 the tube snapped. i have yet to do lights in the back haha.

and for the interior LED swap out, i'd like to do my dome and the other lights, so def post up how u did it and what kind you bought...
