after soldering the led's and resistors wrap everything in electrical tape or heatshrink to isolate from the bulldog metal frame.

feed each one through and test each with a 9v battery (yes they probably still work at 9v too) or 12v supply.

to ensure that the led's stay in place i packed all the wiring inside the head with hot glue to temporally hold everything together. ensure that everything works, because the next step is to epoxy everything together. bang it with your fist, shake it make sure there is no flickering, nothing is more ghetto than a one eyed bulldog hood ornament.

also drill a hole for any power wiring (switched lines)
