$3 LED Headlamp

Ok, so this is my entry into the hack It Challenge.  Here, we're going to use two separate lights to make one awesome headlamp!. Let me first stipulate that $3 depends on you materials cost, it may be higher or lower, but either way you get a decent lamp out of it. 

Disclaimer:  A soldering iron is used in this instructable, barely, but its a good idea to know what you're doing with one.

Step 1 Materials and tools

First, source your parts.  I got a 9 LED flashlight for a dollar as well as an incandesant headlamp for two dollars from HF.

Materials
LED flashlight
Headlamp
Short length of wire

Tools:
small phillips head screwdriver
pair of pliers/vicegrips
soldering iron
