If they're 5v LEDs, then no. I don't think so.

And, whoa, what happened to that button? Did you pull it apart?

But yeah, you can see the resistor. You should be fine. Just following the LED Wiz wiring diagram.

The smaller sanwa's (used mainly for start-buttons) come as screw-in buttons as well, fyi.

In case you're interested, here's a quick comparison shot of a 24mm screw in Sanwa (orange) compared to a 30mm snap in.

Keep in mind with the Sanwa 24mm, they won't go in 3/4".
They're not long enough.
