Default So where else should I put LEDs in the box?

I want to do the LEDs in the cupholders in my wife's RS 2.0. I did them in my xA, and it was really easy. I think it's a cool, cheap mod, so I want to do it to her's too. Here's the thing.....when I did my xA, I got a set of three blue LEDs from a local autoparts store and put one in each front cupholder and one in the "oven" storage area. But my wife wants her xB done with orange LEDs since her clock and stereo are orange. Makes sense...it'll all match. I couldn't find a set of orange LEDs in any store, so I ordered a set of 10 off ebay. I will do her cupholders, but where should I put the 8 I'll have left over? It seems a shame not to use at least a few of them. Any suggestions? I'd rather avoid any real difficult installs.

Center 2 air vents are easy. Storage box isn't that hard. Ashtray is pretty simple. Glovebox handle takes a little doing, but not much. Door latches are hard.

I thought about the door handles (inside), but that seems like it would be pretty tricky. I'd have to run wires all the way up into the doors and take the doors apart. That's a little more involved than I was looking to get into. I like the airvent idea. How hard is that?

Just smash them, I'm sure it'll be a few seconds of pure entertainment!
