Help a Noob Out? First Car...
What's up everyone. 
I'm 17 and recently purchased (well, half-purchased anyways) my first car. It's a Black/Grey 2005 G35, and I'm pretty excited to start driving it. I've been lurking around this site for the past 3-4 hours, looking at all the body mod threads, etc. I've come across several threads detailing LED mods, and I must say, I'm quite impressed. So impressed that I want my own LEDs; they're so effing cool looking. Problem is, I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about cars. Like, I pretty much know what doors and windows are and that's it, no joke. Regardless, I want LED's sooooooooo bad and am determined to get them.
How would I go about doing this in the cheapest possible fashion? I obviously couldn't follow one of those complicated DIY guides detailing electronic components, etc. Are there any 'simple' installations, or would I have to take it somewhere? From what I've read, LED's really aren't that expensive right? Like, no more than a couple hundred $ or so? Primarily, I want them in the front. They don't need to actually act as the headlight, just as long as there's a cool looking LED strip in the front somewhere (I'm sure this sounds tacky to you more car-knowledgeable persons). Really any sort of setup would be fine, I'm not really looking for anything in particular as long as there's LED's involved.
Here are some examples:

Anyone have any ideas on how I could get this done/how much it would cost? Like I said before, it doesn't need to be anything fancy (like the 2nd img), just as long as there's LED's. Thanks for any help.

uh... there are LED strips that are as simple as plugging into the wedge bulb of your sidemarkers... howeber i think you should look around alot more before you decide what you want exactly...
first and third picture- very easy - 2nd picture much mor einvolved, out of your league based on your post...

I'm telling you it is very easy...
I have some for sale if you wanted - or you can pick some up at Ijdmtoy.com
Seriously - it is as dificult as connecting positive and negative wires to the positive and negative parts of the wedge bulb then hiding wires... depends where you want them mounted honestly...
