Basic electronics question...

Ok, so I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I don't think I'm retarded, and I just want somebody to verify this. I am in the process of building a new case for my carpc. (http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=19858) anyways I'm installing some LED's into them right now and I'm going to use one of the 5V lines from the floppy power connector... now I screwed up earlier and just connected and LED directly to it.. thus burning it out. Now what I think I need to do is just go down to radio shack and pick up a 3V resistor.... am I right? just solder the 3V resister between the hotwire and the (+) portion of the LED?

Let me know thanx in advance
