Message	know electrically is no problem. physically i dont know if it is a perfect fit or yo have to make it fit somehow. as to how it glows im not sure you would have to just try it out. it is very simple to do. just follow these rules, most leds only require 10 milli amps to work, since the volt in the car its about 14 volts when the engine is running you need v=ir--->r=v/i---->r=14/.010 amps=1400 ohms. you can goto radio shack and get a 1400 ohms 1/2 or 1/4 watt, or you can buy an adjustable resistor (potentiometer) 1/2watt and set it to 1400 ohms. or you can ask if they have leds with built in resistors.
