Default door lock/unlock light idea?

hi people, i was wondering about wiring something that would turn on a led light if the doors were unlocked and will turn off when the doors are locked. like a door lock light.

it seems a bit silly, but i removed the pins from my 94 accord sedan that let you lock and unlock a door manually, and removed the lock/unlock switches from the driver and passenger doors and moved it somewhere else for security reasons.

i was thinking to wire something from the unlock/lock switch since when you push it up or down, the switch will ground either the +12v unlock or lock wire and work.
maybe some relays connected to each wire?

i also know leds require a resistor because +12v is too much for 1 simple led light.

any ideas on how to get started? thanks!

So, basically you want to hook up an LED so when you lock your doors it will flash? Kind of like an alarm led that blinks when you arm it, but without the alarm? There is a company online, the name has skipped my mind, that i recommend to people who dont want to spend 250+ on a decent alarm. They simply want the blue or red flashing light. The company makes a small board, with a resistor, and 3 wires that come off of it...well 6 including the led wires. yellow, black and red come off the board and they give instructions to hook it up without an alarm. Even if you have an OEM alarm, you can interface it with this.

i think what itr_dc2 is referring to is an led scanner. I have one by varad that I installed in addition to my stock alarm, but wired it up to the door locks.
