Here's a webpage for calculating the resistor but you'll need the data sheet from the LEDs to get the figures for the calculator. The data sheet should come with them. I used 4 LEDs in parrallel in mine, one in each corner, pointing to the back so reflections light up the diffuser.

I was only jocking with the refractor crack

[edit]
I put 2 sheets of foam board on the front so it just pushes onto the scope and I hot glued the round cutouts together so they push back into the diffuser as a cover when not in use.
