Step 1Components Needed:

Components Needed:

1) 9v battery
2) 9v clip
3) 2k ohm 1/4 watt resistor (even higher wattage would do, like 1/2 watt, which has slightly thicker wires)

Important Note:

Increase resistance to higher value, say 6.7k ohm or 10k ohm, if you are using lower rating led otherwise the led would burn out

or,

decrease it to 1k, if you have a worn out battery.

4) Insulation Tape
5) LED - colour of ur choice
