Should the cigarette lighter socket light up?
F*ck, mine doesn't!
I'll have to investigate.
As for the idea the OP has, it's more broadly known as 'Submarine Lighting' and no it won't make your car any more submarine like a-la The Spy Who Loved Me!
It's straightforward to do, you're better off with flat-ended LEDs and smaller the better. Amber and red both work well and it's what you'll find in most new cars, often near the rear view mirror, in the footwells and door pockets. 12V feed from your lighting circuit (orange wires on a 306) and hey presto! It's something on my 'to-do' list but I have yet to get around to it...like most things.
