Yeah, i was planning on connecting it to the reciever, but what kind of wire would i need to do so?
Also would i need a specific kind of resistor? Will this one do: http://cgi.ebay.com/0-56-OHM-5-Watt-...QQcmdZViewItem

Nope thats not right, those are .56 (point) ohm.... not 56 ohms....

Keep in mind the 56 ohm is only an example if you were using 4 of those LED like i linked to, adding more or less LED's or using LED's with different voltage requirements will change what resistor you need.

The resistor calculator i also linked to can guide you to the resistor you need, it even shows you the color of resistor that you need (resistors are color coded by ohm rating).
