Wiring LEDs to work in overhead

I know this will already have been asked in the forum, but couldnt seem to find in in the first couple of pages. Im going to build my own 737-800 overhead panel to keep costs down. Im just wondering how do i get the LED lights to work. I.e what software, hardware, cards etc will i need?
thanks guys!

I assume you mean the annunciators, not the backlighting. Easiest would be the Phidgets LED64 interface card, very simple to use and the brightness of the LEDS can be individually adjusted. And of course you would need something like Prosim737 to make it all work, not very cheap I'm afraid.

Ive not investested in any prosim software, i was going go down the route of iflys cockpit builder. Does that have anything to do with overhead panels on it?
