A 12V LED in parallel with the fans will work perfectly. In other words just hack into the +ve feed to the fans and use that to power the LED.
Make sure it's a 12V LED though. There are some cool ones with a little chrome bezel around them from Jaycar.

Yer, I didn't read the question properly and assumed that the fans would come on automatically...
