1 You may need a higher Wattage resistor, depending on how many you wire in parallel (1/2 watt instead of 1/4 watt), etc.
2resistor -> split off to two leds+
3 instead of putting the resistors out at the LEDs, you could wire a small perforated circuit board with the resistors, and then extend wires out to your LEDs Makes for a less bulky wires out near the mounting points
4 bring in + voltage onto the board, bridge it out to one side of all the resistors, lined up, and then from there, out to your LEDs. Return either to the board, or another ground within the saber capable of handling the current.
