Smallest lights??

I got my hands on my first BCG a couple of days ago and hardly slept much since due to lying in bed thinking up mod ideas.
I'll post those later...

But for the momeny there's one light mod that I want to try.

I'm thinking that a watch battery stuck to the inside roof with wires running along the inside top left and right sides of the car with lights dotted along the wires would make a cool light mod.
But I can't find a source for the bulbs I want to use.
With so many lights (say 4 to 6) down each side I think LED's would be too big to use, too bright and drain too much power.

So a mate came up with the idea of using watch bulbs. Those things should be REALLY small compared to LED bulbs.
Depending on their size it might be possible to drill really small holes in the body and sit the bulbs in the holes giving an even better effect, especially with dark coloured cars.

Anyone know of a UK supplier who might sell them??
I've looked but can't find any watch spare part sellers who sell them.

TIA
Gotta go, my BCG's recharged.
