I use 4000-6000 mcd in brightness for my glow pads. Two will work ok, but I would suggest at least four.

1/2 watt at 150ohm. It will work for either 12v or 5v.

I've had soom running for over a year without burning out.

what size resistor do i use for 2 led's and what size do i use for 4?

get a 50 ohm resister at 3/8watt or 1/2watt.... 1/4 will work too, but doesn't really matter. the price diff is like $0.02
thats if your running on 5v.
