You need to place picture on a server somewhere as far as I can tell...
One place for instance in picture sharing is Photobucket...
http://photobucket.com/
After placing picture there or any other place that-> very important*... shares
pictures... allows you to link to them 24/7... you copy and paste the
below the picture the http within [img] http blah blah blah [/img] codes that
can be found in the reply page buttons in between List= and URL...
And whalla picture... may take trial and error at first but by third try
just about anyone should be able to do what i said... cheers!
*the very important part is some places make it so that
you can't link to their server/site for pictures... and can only direct people
by link to the picture source. It saves them from high volume of traffic
as hotlinking pictures makes for gobs of internet traffic... and if they have
advertisements paying for webspace like photobucket then its do-able.

This is on a TC. I got the Led's off ebay (Link below). I had to solder the resistor and some wires on them. If you have the tools it is allot cheaper. Remove the shift plat and the center radio cover. From the fuse access panel you can reach up and pop the bottom of the divers side AC vent out, the passenger side is harder (very carefully) with a small flat tip pry the bottom side of the vent until you can get a hold and pop it off. I then started at the center console light and removed the wires from the black plastic mount I them used the mount to hold the LED and reinstalled it back into the dash. Next I used a small punch to pop a hole about 2-3 inches back from the front of the AC tubes see pick for the center and on the inside of driver and passenger vent tubes.
The wires I used were 20Gu so they are small the hole only needs to be large enough for the wires & resistor (with heat shrink tubing or insulation) to fit in. I ran all the wires to the center and connected them to the existing wire that ran the center pocket light. But you can run them to a switch if you want. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

Just made it easyer to get in to the center. It took about two hours. If you wire into the power for the center lights the LED's will only come on when your parking lights are on. If you want more control you may want to add a switch.
