Step 4Wire up your rig.

Wire up your rig.
Discard the bulky 4D battery case that came with your lights. We need something smaller. Find your 6 AA battery holder attach to the 9V clip. Cut the positive to attach the switch. Strip your leads and secure with crimps. Attach that to the female to female jack and attach the male jack from the LEDs.
Now take 5 charged 1.2V batteries and a bolt and nut or spring to round out the empty 6th spot and load up your holder. Check to see the LED rig lights up!
