Those ebay ones you linked to look like each individual LED has 2 wires coming out of it. You may want something more like this:

With the 2 wires connected to a board with multiple LEDs on it.

Those LED boards are about perfect to light up the cab. How are you planning on mounting the individual ones you got?
