MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH THE LED PATTERN BEFORE PROCEEDING!!!

First clip off the two leads on the BlinkM that DO NOT supply the power. On mine, they were labeled
D and C. Next attach the 2-pin wire connector, making sure that you note the positive and negative connections (+ and - on the BlinkM). Use a dab of hot glue to secure the connector the the BLinkM. Lastly, mount the BlinkM inside the barrel cap so the LED is facing down and is resting in the recessed area where the clear post is. Secure with hot glue on either side. GENTLY bend the 2-pin connector towards the center at an approximate 45-degree angle.
