Step 5Install our LED
Next we want to install our LED after doing this I found that using something to glue the LED into place would have made this a whole lot easier as I suck at soldering but if you don't have crazy glue or something similar you can do it without.
You want to solder one of the leads on the LED to the metal shield, it doesn't have to be where I did it, but I found that it made it easier for when I wanted to connect the wire to the other lead (you will see later why)
I would also suggest you attach the shorter lead to the shield so you don't have to do any trimming later to get the shield to fit back on.
And lastly make sure that your bead of solder doesn't protrude from the bottom because this too will inhibit the shield from fitting back properly
In this step (not pictured sorry) you can also solder a piece of wire to the other lead. In both this step and the next step use about 6" of wire or more so you have plenty to work with later
