i will try to asked the shop tomorrow if the LED can sustain 12V..i tot of putting like small o-ring surround the LED as here, we have plenty of rain..afraid i will short something..

That could work. What I've found is you can hot glue it in there, too. It seals it up nice and keeps it from going anywhere. I'm interested to hear back about the resistors, though. While I don't think they're necessary, it doesn't hurt to be 100% :-p
