Hi I purchased a ‎

754-1232-ND‎
‎WP59EGW‎
LED GRN/RED DIFFUSED T-1 3/4 T/H

I am running it on a 3v chip style battery system. Can anyone help me with the correct resistors to install on the LED?

Using the resistor calculator you would need a 40ohm for the Green and a 50ohm for the red. 39 and 51 are the common resistances that are closest. Here are two 1/8-watt through-hole examples.

Would I need anything else? I already have a on-on switch to change the colors?

Seems fairly straight forward to me.
