i think i remember reading you'll need about 35 but i'm not sure if this # includes the radio and hv/ac controls or not.

17 in HVAC alone. I forgot how many total. You will also need the resistors. I purchase all my LED's from www.lsdiodes.com if you find any place that has them for less please post it.

http://www.oznium.com/led

these are 35 cents a piece and you can also have them send you the correct resistors.

also pick up a 4" cold cathode tube. these are cheap and throw a lot of light. you can put them under the dash to light up the footwell area. they come in white if you don't want the car too blue.

http://www.oznium.com/ has them cheaper.

(4) 5mm leds for the floor board.
(7) 3mm LEDs with resistors for your doors.
(12) 5mm LEDs for your rearview mirrors.
(6) 5mm LEDs for your trunk lights with resistors.
(7-8) 5mm LEDs with resistors for your DIC

Thanks Spdkilz60z again.

HAHA you beat me to it. Yeah im going to pick up 2 12" ones for my amp cover. not bad for 6 bux. i might get 2 6" for the floor board. It will probially light up better then the leds.

these may be seen as 'rice' but i think they are very cool. i wouldn't put them on the outside of my car but they may be a cool interior accent. or rip them apart and wire them up to a bunch of single leds in an amp rack or something:
