Default LED Drill Bit

Hi everyone, I have searched around, but found nothing. I have gutted my tC and I am about to start putting led's in the cupholders and such, but i was curious about what drill bit size to use? They are 5 MM leds.

That will let the led in, but not the base?

Yep, i just test them in, they all work, they are hot. I also prewired my car for cathodes in the rear, and wheel well led's. So its gonna be pretty easy to put more stuff in.

Question, should i put led's in the grocery hook spots?
