Go for this design

The colored 4-pin stars are for the colored LEDs and the white 6-pin stars are for the white LEDs. Make it as long as possible and try to border the top and sides of the inside of the side panel.

Why didn't you bought the led used in modding/styling cars a 1 foot strip retails for 100-200 bucks depending upon quality. they are much much better then the loose ones and can be directly attached to the 4 pin Molex connector and get easily fitted with a double sided tape.

they are much smaller in size and much brighter.

Your wish but strips of different colour are available with size varying from 10-20 cm....

plus you can have a switch worth 30/- to switch the leds on and off
