Connect the power (+) and ground (-) portions of the circuit to the corresponding leads on the battery pack. Turn the lights on to verify that the polarity is correct. There should be enough slack in the wires so that the battery pack can be pulled a reasonable distance outside of the pocket to change the batteries.

If your battery pack does not have a built-in switch, and you would like to add one, you can insert a standard pushbutton or toggle switch at this stage. If you can't find a 3 cell AA holder, you can make one from a 4 cell holder by joining two of the battery contacts within one of the cells.
