I use LEDs for a lot of lighting tasks on my model trains and have found that using higher resistances in the dropping resistors will usually lead to much longer life with minimal reduction in light output. In this case, I would try using two of the 270 ohm resistors in series and see if the brightness is good.

Mike, when I was experimenting with the resistance I tried a 330 ohm resistor and the LED did not light at all. What do you think happened there?
