No problem.
Recently, i came across a few of my old rectangular LEDs (seriously old, i think i got them from Radio Shack in the early nineties). One orange (really more a very red orange-red), one pink. I thought the orange one would look good installed in the front trench as the "miniature photoreceptor" (better than the car's original headlights, anyway)
As it happens, the speaker built into the spinmaster bb-8 that I'm turning into BB-5M uses exactly the same JST connector as the headlight leds, and I'd already cut the connector off to test the speaker with the BB droid's new amp. So over the weekend I checked the voltage (a bit shy of 4v), then wired the LED up with a 470 ohm resistor (more than it really needs) and the connector.
