Default Backlighting for emblem pro panel

I have a switch panel for right in front of my shift **** on my trans am it has six switches and the lettering is clear so I can backlight it. Does anyone know of a good way to put red lights or red led lights behind it. I can't think of any practical ways to do it

I'd use a set of strip LED's, you can buy them on ebay & other places. Cut to the mength you need & then just locate them where the light shows thru the best.

Leds are the way to go.

Inexspensive, bright, and easy to wire up.

Anyone know of which ones will work the best because there's a million of leds on ebay and I'm sure ninety percent of them are trash
