Am I missing anything? Thanks!

LEDs are legal, provided that they do not violate <R02-A> or <R02-C>. They would most likely fall under "decorations", meaning that they must be powered by the robot, which you have correctly assumed.

Let's put it another way: a search through Section 8 for "LED" turned up nothing except a reference to the control system's built-in ones; and there aren't really any other rules.

As these are presumably decorations, <R19>, <R49>, and <R92> apply as well as <R02>.
