Resistors don't light up LEDs. They're required in a circuit along with LEDs in order to
prevent excessive current through the LEDs when the LEDs are forward biased. The
correct resistance value depends on the supply voltage and the desired (rated) current
through the LEDs, and there's typically one resistor in series with each LED.

It can be done with 7 LED segments. More LEDs will be needed if a regular rectangular array is required, but many of these will never light and could be omitted to save money but then it would not be regular. The smallest standard regular rectangular array sold is 5 by 7 or 35 total LEDs, but this will display all alphanumeric characters and even then some LEDs will be unused unless other things are displayed too. Just guessing the smallest regular array is probably 3 by 5 or 15 total LEDs, but at most 13 of these LEDs would be used by the digits the other 2 LEDs could be omitted to save money. Such an array could be wired to be driven as a 7 segment display using a few ordinary diodes to light the 6 shared LEDs as part of multiple "segments".
Depends on what kind of tail light. An older tail light should have 12 v, but more modern tail lights are from LEDs.
Superflux LEDs are the pinnacle of LED lighting. At a glance at the specifications it would appear that they are not as bright as the 3mm and 5mm LEDs, however with their 110 degree viewing angles they kick out an enormous amount of light. Making them perfect for vehicle stop lights, signs and many many more applications. Superflux LEDs are also known as Piranha LEDs. http://www.phenoptix.co.uk/Superflux_LEDs_s/35.htm

Needed for what?
There are many sources of light, but they can generally be classified into natural sources (such as the sun, stars, and fire) and artificial sources (such as light bulbs, candles, and LEDs). Each source of light emits light in a different way and with different characteristics.
To find the total voltage needed for the LEDs, first calculate the total power by multiplying the number of LEDs by their power consumption: 12 LEDs * 3W = 36W. Then, divide the total power by the total current to find the voltage: 36W / 0.7A = 51.43V. Therefore, you would need approximately 51.43 volts for the 12 LEDs.
Typically, a 100 ohm resistor is used to connect a 1.5 volt led to a series 220v ac adapter. Many LEDs can be connected into a string using the resistors.
You generally need the same number of volts for a given amount of light (lumens), regardless of how many hours you use it. They typically measure the amount of energy used by a bulb in "watts", not volts, and you can find a wide range of wattage ratings from milliwatt LEDs to 1000-watt floodlights and on up.
There are 16 LEDs in the headset
Amber LEDs are good for when a person is camping because they don't attract as many insects. They can also make it easier to see in the dark as the eyes don't need as much time to adjust from light to dark with amber lights.
