running lights from car battery

I am adding lights to my microsizer today or tomorrow, and I need to know how easy it would be to run the lights using the stock battery, which is 120 mAH I believe. What exactly would I need to do to run lights with the car battery, and how many could I use with that as the power source? Also, what kind of LED's should I use? Please be specific, because I really have no idea what kind of lights I need. Thanks a lot

the stock battery is 50mah and it would REALLY suck your batterys up if you had more then just 1 or 2 very small 3mm leds

you could use a boost convertor to get an added boost in voltage to run your lights

A boost convertor is a regulator that takes an input voltage and boosts it to a bigger voltage, there is some info at http://tinyrc.com/forums/showthread....threadid=11489
