solder 4-8" wires to the battery terminals, depending on how long is needed to get to where the circuit wil be. glue down the battery wires so prevent them pulling out.

route the battery wires and the rear led wires to the place on the case where you will be attaching the circuit. i'm going to glue the circuit to the back of the case. drill a hole in the case if needed.

depending on where you mount the circuit, plan on having an extra 3" to 4" section of the rear led wires inside the case, this will make it so you can open the case and switch batteries easily.

then i measured and glued down the wires on the outside of the case, making 3 attachment points where the circuit will solder onto. i call this method "the big ugly mess"
