Default Installing LED in vents

Has anyone installed LED's in the vents of their civic? I currently own a 99 civic ex and want to add blue leds to the vents, under dash in in the cup holders, have any of you done this? if not do you know any websites that explain the process for wiring in a civic?

under the dash is easy, on my passenger side i had to drill holes in the lower part of hte dash to put my zip ties through but it's hidden, and on the driver side you can just ziptie the neons to excisting pasrts of the dash. addiction2bass did a compoetelty custom cup holders LED things, PM hima botu hta, and in the vents is fairly simple, you can usualy just pull the vents out and then glue some LEDs in there, then wire them to otehri own switchi n hte fusebox

ya the vents are very easy to do.... and if i was you id do the simplest way and buy some PREWIRED leds.... or if you want some brighter wider led vents then use some PREWIRED SUPERFLUX leds.... those are brighter and spread out more even

they do cost more BUT light output is so much beter...

I guess I am still confused on how the wiring all works, and the types of wires that are needed. I looked that DIY posted and it seemed to help, except I still don't understand how the power wires connect to the battery and what not...
