i have a red car w/ blue or red. at night you can't really tell the color of the car so it doesn't matter.
2 on the passanger vent, 4 in the center one (two per division) and one on the driver vent.
you can also redo the center console. 2 in the center cubby, 5 in the shift lights.

LEDs are fun.

i got resistors from opamp.com (not sure what the specific link is) but they were $0.005 each.  VERRY cheap. i stopped buying from oznium once i knew what i was doing.
Its still a GREAT site and has phenomenal customer service... which is what your partially paying for in the price.

I was thinking about doing that too, not a bad idea
wouldn't be able to see em during the day though...
and wouldn't wiring them to the turn signals be too much of a hassle?

you could put some in your sun visor, i put green and blue leds in the mirror cover. lights up the roof of the car, all the way to the back. and doesn't hurt visibility at night.
