We need to solder the wires to the light bulb so we can make it work.

Put the Light Bulb in the Motor

We need to put our light bulb in the broken motor. We also have to run the wires through the motor hole. Be careful not to touch the bulb contact with the motor because there could be a short circuit so you should put electrical tape on the bulb contact.

Aim the Motor on the Lamp
