Navigation lights.

pic 1/2:
I went to radio shack and bought some LED's , wire, switches, AA battery holders and wire.
I hooked up two AA's to the red LED, three AA's to the white LED and will have four AA's to the blue LED.
Each color requires different voltages.
I have them presently on to insure they don't burn out.
Stuff from Radio shack:
Red LED (2) part 276-307
White LED (2) part 276-320
Blue LED (2) part 276-311
LED holders (6) part 276-079 (not sure if needed but bought them)
AA battery holders (4) part 270-401a
22 gauge wire (75') part 278-1224
Slide switches (2) part 275-407
You'd think this was the inexpensive way but I shot 40 bucks!

(The white LED's are held by the green clamp and the red LED's are on the yellow alligator clips)
