"to just go nuts in the truck"... what are you going to use them for specifically?
Look at my Cardomain site on these pages for a fairly complete how-to on using LED's. I also mention cutting or sanding the dome to increase dispersion.

LED's in headlight switch: http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...296394&page=12
LED general tutorial: http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...296394&page=13
These should answer most of your questions and give you further ideas to go nuts on!

5mm (T1-3/4 type) are easier to work with MOST of the time. They also generally have the larger outputs. However, if small ones are needed, use small ones!
And yes, you scuff it up real good and ROUGH, not just a smooth whiteness. All the grooves and what not (I use a file because it makes a rough cut) disperse the light better.
