Customizing a switch in one of the dummy panels, and want to ask you guys for your opinions, since I know I need a resistor on this LED I have.

Simple breakdown: When switch is on, LED comes on as well.

Just need a suggestion on how big of a resistor I need.

My epic paint skills to show you the wiring:

Hopefully between those pictures you can understand how it's wired up.
 
depends on the specs of the LED, and your supply voltage.

Google "LED Calculator" and it will tell you all you need to know.
