Default Cove Lights?

I'm thinking about putting lights behind my cove screens. Hook them up to the parking/turn signals so they give a slight tint to the coves at night. Problem is, I know nothing about wiring. I'm thinking about using some LED's from Vehiclelight.com. Anybody out there have any ideas?

I've heard of guys on here that have done that. I'm sure that they'll chime in.

Has anyone hooked up a set like this that worked with the turn signal lights? Not sure it would be worthwhile or that anyone would realize that your signaling, but I like it better than the stick on arrows you can put on your mirrors.
