After a 1K resistor and LED

I want to add an LED , and mount it in the magnetic door sensor that's
wired back into the alarm (Comfort). The missus likes to open the back
door which is not an entry point and set off the alarm.

So, I'd like an LED which lights up when the system is armed. I'm told a
12v LED with a 1K resistor will do the trick, and i have 3 spare pairs
going to the mag so I can wire those directly into Comfort's 12v output.

Any bright electro spark out there know if this will do the trick ?

Seems to indicate it has a resistor built in ??

Thanks !
