Now you can put the LED assembly together with the lighter.
This is where I ran into a problem. The wire I used was too large to fit through the hole that the wick came through. No big problem, I used a small drill bit and a needle file to widen the hole slightly. It is important to note that this hole is actually a grommet which I believe holds the whole thing together. So don't widen too much or the grommet will break. 

Now we can put it all together. 
The wires go through the hole that the wick once passed through and the whole thing should fit together. The nut gets tightened to the front opening to hold the switch in place. 
The wires can then be connected to the battery with a bit of tape or shrink.
