i did this a looooong time ago. i suggest using 3-5 led's instead of one. and point them in different directions. helps give an even light rather than one really bright part. and i just bought 100 of them off ebay for like 5 bucks and they worked AWESOME. and i wired mine differently....i did mine the same way indiglows would work(tapping into the light switch on the vent). rather than using the stock cluster power. i think that allowed me more room for led's rather than bending the wire in wierd shapes and also allowed me to skip having to deal with the polarity of the stock housing.
also when you cut the lead that short on your led you MUST be fast and careful. or at least you should if you paid a bunch of money on led's. if you spend too long soldering you will toast the led. you should also use the clip on heatsinks to help with that.
