so it just needs to have a resistor built into the led? any ideas what size resistor?

depends how much voltage is going into the bulb, and what the LED is

there is a calculator here

i'll get a night time pic up as soon as i go out at night to a place with no street lights.

They are not as bright as the standard yellow thats for sure but its a finishing touch rather than a light enhancement for me.
