I am an extremely ignorant when it comes to electrical and lighting but would love to wire in LED lights in several places in my car. Any sites with information that I can read up on? Or do you have any input on bulbs, resistors and the like?

Thank you in advance.

LED's only work with the power in one direction. Hook it up one way, and if it doesn't work, turn it around. Of course, always use a resistor in series. 1K ohm (1,000 ohms) should work just fine. 1/4 watt should be good. 680 ohms if you want it really bright. Maybe around 1.5 K or more if you want it dimmer. Resistors are cheap, get a few.
