The two leads that were terminated in the two metal tabs for the bulb are the two leads you will use. On my phaser, the orange wire was the positive and the brown was the negative. Use a multimeter to test and verify your setup. Solder the two leads to the appropriate leads on the BlinkM and cover with shrink tubing or electrical tape. Leave enough wire for the barrel cap with the BlinkM to sit just outside the phaser barrel body. The best part about this mod is that all of the voltages match up without any modification.
