Step 5Add the 100 ohm Resistor
Bend up the longer LED anode (+) lead so it's poking up near the top of the breadboard.
Clip off one resistor lead so you have about 3/8" of an inch (5mm) and bend it 90 degrees down. Stick this end into the last hole of the negative (blue) rail so the other end hangs out over the end of the breadboard.
Bend this overhanging lead down so it contacts the lower LED leg, and solder them together. Snip off the extra and save it.
Snip your 2-pin header in half (or use whatever pin you have handy - even other resistor clippings), and stick it in the last hole on the "+" rail (nearest red stripe).
Remember that extra lead I asked you to save? Use to solder a connection from your pin to the upper LED lead.
