I know some of you wanted to see some pictures of the final product. I sure know Cajun99 did. 
I have no way to host the images sorry but you can click on the link to check it out. I only have a couple.

i have bought and used several types of LEDs in the past, the most recent was integrating blue arrows in the clear brake light housing on my R1.
Where did yo purchase these from and what size resistor did you use?
The mod looks good. Very trick interior mod.

Thanks! I really love the look its pretty sweet.
I got the LEDs from lsdiodes.com, their prices are pretty cheap. I used 560 ohms, +/-5% resistors. If anyone needs help with their calculations let me know. I used this value since my voltage usually runs around 14.4 volts or so. You can use a lower value but you do run the risk of blowing your led. So far so good.
I put them in all the lighted area's except the HVAC unit. The HVAC unit the lights are soilered to the circuit board. I am going to change these out to blue just not yet.
I have been pretty lazy about doing the write up. I will try and get it done this week even snap some more pictures as well.

I have bought from Ledtronics or Discreteled before. They have a big selection, but they kinda don't want small nickle and dime orders. They even have the dual SpiderLEDs which work very nicely on circuit boards inside light lenses.

Brandon, those are sooo cool.
I really like the effect on the interior. I've been hunting around for a new project to do on this car and I might just try the LEDs...as soon as I can get away from work.
Thanks again for the link and pics!!!
