Default LED Interior Accent Lighting

Do any of you guys have it? Where did you mount them? I just bought 10 prewired leds to put under my dash and a bunch of the bulb holders. I was just going to get a strip of metal and put the leds in it and then mount it under the dash. I plan on using an accessory fuse in the fuse box for my power and put it on a switch so I can turn it on and off and also that way if I forget to turn it off it will go off and not drain my battery. My only question is do I need some kind of relay for this? Do any of you wiring geniuses see any problems with my approach?

Thanks guys, I might do a write up for the how to section along with my CB/PA install.

What fuse # did you tap into? Is it one with constant power or only with the key in? Thanks and that's a good bit of light! Looks good!
