Default LED interior Lights

Looking to as many of you know add some LED lights to the door compartments and footwells (these will be taped into the interior lighting so they come on and off at the same time the maps ect do) I will be doing the glove box on its own switch and last i want to do some in the cup/trey area and put these on their own switch, where do you guys suggest getting bulbs, strips and one switch. Thanks in advanced.

For my ashtray and cup holders area i went to radio shack and bough three 5mm green LEDs (pre-resistored). But I wired mine to come on with the parking/interior lights. There is a small white 2 pin harness plug behind the radio that has two wires. It is actually made for the ash tray and cup lights. One wire is (+) and the other is (-)

thats the plug I use also. And there are plenty of places to get the LEDs, like superbrightleds.com, radioshack has a few, ebay has em...just do like weed said and get preresistored, it will save a ton of effort. If you want them to dim you have to put another piece in....i cant remember the name
