total cost for 8 leds + 8 resistors came to £7 sumthing.
But i've decided to have only 3 leds in each speaker grille.

feed a 12v live from the headunits remote, or fusebox to the door multiplug.
U'll need to drill a hole thru the multiplug where there are no pin connectors.
pull the wire thru into the door. can take a while (is a pain).

wire up the leds in parrellel

live 1 -> resistor 1 -> led 1 -> earth 1
live 2 -> resistor 2 -> led 2 -> earth 2
live 3 -> resistor 3 -> led 3 -> earth 3

solder the resistors + leds together.
insulation tape exposed wire.
duct tape the leds onto the grill, so that the tape doesn't show but the led does.

Don't get really bright leds as they can be very distracting while driving sometimes.

putting leds behind the grille will be a more practical idea than neons.

check my avatar my digicam is real bad for taking pics in the dark. but u get the idea

the_legand_of_yrag -

Go get an OSRAM prism blub from MOTORWORLD or somewhere like that, failing that mate, get your existing blub and colour it with that blub paint you can get, least this way you can get all your blubs blue at probs a fraction of the cost.
