cupholder lights

the new scion has the option of underdash lights which include cupholder lights, i think its pretty cool. anyway, im thinking that when i take apart my dash again a drill in a ring of holes in the cup holder slot. do u think 6 little leds lights in each cupholder part good? the one thing im worried about is the wiring. i was thinking of jsut connecting the ground from one light to the power of the other, i mm being braindead right now and i think that is a bad idea. are there any wiing tips from the pros? small wire around there would definately be a plus, so what gauge wire should i use in between lights? 20? i think this is gonna look big pimpin.
should i put something at the top of the holes, like plexiglass? they would be small holes anyway, should i jsut superglue the lights there? i'll try and make a picture in paint of what im talking about

Re: cupholder lights

Why would u want something that is ripping of a car built by a manufacturer who stereo types the interests of your age group. Automotive style is about indivdual expression, not factory options....IMO

Re: cupholder lights

Woah noo that wiring is bad you cant wire them in series like that because it'll drop the voltage instead of current. What you need to do is wire them in parallel so you dont get a dull lighting effect.
