LED Footswitch Wiring

Hey everyone. I'm trying to wire up the B-size Fuzz with a Tayda 3PDT LED footswitch and a PedalPCB illuminated 3PDT breakout board for the LED footswitch but I have a few questions about wiring.

(1) How do I wire in a resistor for the footswitch LED. The breakout board makes it seem like I should just solder the LED leads into the breakout board but do I need to place a resistor in there somewhere?
(2) I think I need to jumper the LED holes on the PedalPCB board if I'm using a footswitch LED, is that right?
(3) How do I get DC power to the footswitch LED? Right now DC power runs to the PCB, but I don't see how DC would get to the footswitch LED.

Thanks for helping out a first time build!

Wire it exactly like your drawing, connect the LED directly to the breakout board, and install a jumper in place of the LED on the effect PCB.

The breakout board will use the current limiting resistor that is on the main effect PCB, current for the LED comes through the SW pad.

Thank you so much!
