Generic lighting kits?

I'm scratchbuilding a model, and I'd like to light it. There's really not much to the lighting, maybe 2 LEDs and about 12 fiber optics. Does anyone make a kit I could just slap in place instead of having to learn electronics?

Find the nearest hobby store that caters to the model train crowd. They've got all sorts of basic kits.

Fiber optic products store has a lot of kits, some of them are harder to find but their 'model lighting' section maybe all your looking for:

Found these kits at Federation Models; I've not used them nor do I have any experience with lights, but these appear to be what you're looking for.

That's about what I'm looking for, but I think I'd rather have one run off a wall outlet.

You can change the connection so it is hooked up to a 9V AC Adapter. It just takes some splicing.
