You should be in the ballpark, 4k of resistance in a 14v system brings you well under 3mA, plenty low enough, 1/4 watt would have been fine, 1/2 watt gives you some flexibility for later. I suspect you won't stop here.
Looks like you're going to start a little electronics toolbox, good way to get into some of the basics too.
All we are playing with here is Ohms law and one type of discreet semiconductor. Just starting to touch on power dissipation.
Have fun!
