[luma_kamrada]

so im planning on purchasing an illuminated switch (blue) and it says that there is no built in resistor and without one the led would fry, so i was wondering what one do i need?

im not really savvy with stuff yet so any help would be nice :D

Click the resistor chart tab, and the blue illum. switch under "led choice", then your battery (you didn't specify).

I've already given you one freebie, and I'm hesitant to give another.....
The short answer is no, you'll need at least two.

Read around in the Cutaway views and wiring schematics (http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28).
There will be several schematics and discussions answering your question.

It's because we go through hundreds of new members every year, who inevitably ask the same questions every time.
We encourage you to find the answers for yourself, because they'll be more meaningful when you do; and in the process you'll probably stumble across the answers to questions you didn't even know you had.
