I would skip the 12V LED's and just use standard 5mm (lot cheaper and a lot better selection of color temps. only issue is then you have to add resisters to control the current, but if you are using a 12V power supply then you can put 3 of them in series with no resistors.

Kabong I don't even thing the second LED would light in your first drawing if they are 12V resisters.
