Insert the LED. Before soldering, you can bend the leads out at 45 degrees to hold an LED in place while you solder. Solder both leads and clip the leads short on the back side. | Insert the LED.

Tighten it well; the circuit board acts as a heat sink for the regulator, which can get very hot otherwise. Finally, solder the three pins and clip the excess leads. |
