Without answering Mathews question, your question is so badly phrased it can't be answered.
WHICH Star Led ? Or failing that, what's Vf at Ityp.
What Supply voltage ?

Don't we though.  I just hope we don't loose our "Answerer's  permits".  I worked too hard to get mine!

No worries, if we lose our permits we can just make new ones out of duct tape, Altoids tins, and series-wired star LEDs.

I think everyone else has pretty much summed up the sentiments I'd share.

Just wanted to "me too" the situation so you understand that it's not just one or two people who find your question confusing due to lack of logical thought in its formulation and are offended at your slackeresque (although predictable) reply to Matthew.

Clue: we don't get paid for answering questions. We do it out of the kindness of our hearts and solely at our own expense, both in time and for those of us who have paid to be members of this site, at our own out-of-pocket expense.

Do you have a datasheet. Look at your supplier's website, or at the manufacturer's.  There will be a pinout for your product on the datasheet.

Why so angry? I'm just trying to help you.

Odds are, this LED is very simple to connect. Go find the datasheet, find the pinout, then connect it as you would any other LED.

If you are to stubborn to do this, then we can not help you further.

Dude, mathews was trying to answer your question. I suspect that you will get better feedback if you a) provide better information with your question, and b) consider being a little more respectful to the people who are volunteering their time and energy to try to help you for free.
Good luck.
