    Use white LEDs with red VHT paint on them.

    Open up center console, find red and black wires leading to cigarette lighter.
    Attach red wire from LED to Red wire on lighter.
    Attach Black wire to a grounding point on the car. All done.

    The drink holders looks nice but I'm thinking of doing my footwells first though.

    I used the 4500mcd RL3-R4545 3mm ones on mine. when you start getting to 8000mcd it's getting really bright. but don't forget you need to buy a stash of resistors from Radio shack (the source) and use a web site to figure out what one to connect BEFORE you power them. You can't simply wire the LEDs from SuperBrightLEDS.com straight to power!

    even the ones you see in my avatar (left) in the rear markers and rear lower reflectors - I've soldered resistors onto before wiring them up.

    I bought a pack like this: http://www.thesource.ca/estore/produ...roduct=2719018

    Then used this: http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz to figure out what to solder together. it's easy
