Default LED's for HVAC Controller

I want to add blue and red LED's to my HVAC controller. Please tell me how to wire approximately 15 LED's together to be powered by one lead. I want to do this standalone and leave current light bulbs intact and eventually shut the regular bulbs off. Any suggestions? I have a damaged HVAC controller to mess with. Thanks.

Sorry but I dont have the time. Other people have done this mod by soldering the LEDs with resistors to the PCB. I could not get even illumination doing it that way. This is way I chose this route but it is very time consuming.
