Electronics Question (again...)

What I suggest is to find a neon panel lamp that's small enough to mount to the cover and wire it in without the resistor (the panel lamp will have the resistor built in).  Here's a link to some:

EDIT:
Almost forgot, the reason the lamp looks to be wired right across the line is because the schematic is of the circuit board, the power switch is not mounted to it.

Vinny is correct that neon bulb is a game changer. 

Nice call Vinny
