The resistors are already built in the window switches, there's various stickies on this, the LED's are polarized so they can only go in one way.

I used 5mm 5000mcd's, the front drivers are the easiest to do so try start with that. I have a complete spare set of window swtiches converted to blue for a 97> I might consider selling?

Here's a good writeup,:

Resistor, uuuuhhh no... I didn't use any resistors on any of my window switches. They work perfectly.
