Solder 2 leds together to plus and minus cables. You need two of them and cover the solder joints with shrink tube.

Stick the leds to the height of the acrylic glass. Short the cables, twist the plus and minus together and solder them to the battery compartment. Screw everything together stock the battery compartment and check if it works. Look at my other work.
