It should work.
From watching this video my understanding is you don't need the FET, just the resistor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFWMuumr-Uk.
I don't have the parts to test any of this, so couldn't tell you if it works or not.
heres the link to the LED wizard, LED calculator for single LEDs.

I did come across that video earlier.
I have little knowledge in electronics but as i understand it, if you wired it that way on a VW/VV board, the LED will be brighter or dimmer depending on the wattage/voltage set on the board, unless its connected directly to the battery in which case you'll need a switch to turn it on and off when the button is pressed which is where the mosfet comes into it.
Could be wrong, im learning as i go here.

Alright, suppose its worth a try if it means less wiring, if not there are other options, cheers mate

No you don't the resistor will limit the power.

Has everyone decided what the best way to wire these switches up is? I'd like to do a page on the site to help people so any input would be good. Cheers
Brilliant thanks, another lesson learned
