sorry, now that i reread my post i can see that it isnt worded very well

i dont know if it is actually called a grommet but what i am talking about is a little rubber piece that allows you mount an led...you cant just drill a hole into metal or even plastic and have it stay very well...the piece i want holds an led bulb to keep it from moving around and actually keeps it waterproof...i hope that somebody knows what i am talking about

Yes, Radio Shack has them. Little plastic ones but they work good. Look in the little drawers where they keep all the little trinkets...

Drill a 1/4 inch hole, slide the grommet thru the front side, slide the LED thru the back and it'll click/lock into the tabs. Then all you gotta do is wire them up.

Yeah, it's an LED mount and you can also get lenses that will snap on over the LED. Mouser Electronics has all that kind of stuff online.
