Havne't done this on the Honda but I did it to my Old 3000GT. It is no problem to do, very easy in fact. The only word of advise it to make sure the LED is BEHIND the handle. I put one in above it and it was very annoying during night drives.

Just run in the wires and wire it up to what ever you want to trigger it. Just remember to use the right sized resistor if the LED isn't already wired for 12volts.

I did this in my car. I have one LED above each door handle. Mine only come one when the car is unlocked however but that's just because I have it wired that way. You can wire them to be on all the time if you wanted to though.
