OMG, you put wanker lights inside your car?

Poor MX5, you've totally killed any sense of class it had.

Are the LED's pre-resistored up for 12VDC?

-edit-

Never mind. Series wiring. Just keep sticking 1500uF 16V capacitors in parallel to the array of three diodes until you get the delay you want. Note that you'll probably have a fade on too since the capacitor charging will divert a lot of the forward current initially as they charge.

I'm not sure a simple capacitor based mechanism is your ideal solution though. Charging and draining capacitors with a load like that isn't good for them in the long run. You'd probably want to limit the maximum current into the caps.

Higher voltage ratings would be OK, if you can find those. Just not less than the supply voltage.
