I then cut out the two plastic anchor posts inside to make room for the LED components. I then used the exacto knife to drill out the two raised bumps found on the top of the rangefinder by digging the tip of the knifeinto their center and just spinning the knife (this drills the plastic out nice & clean).I also cut out a notch in the bottom of the rangefinder close to the stalk for a switch. I then got two 3 volt LEDs (the blue one doesn't blink, the green one blinks), one3 volt Lithium watch battery, and a .99 cent digital watch, and a sub-mini slideswitch (Cat. # 275-406A), and some thin gauge electrical wire, all from Radio Shack.I took out the battery housing from the watch, put in the battery, then saudered the wire connections to the slide switch. I then screwed the slide switch into the slot byusing the provided screws and drilling in small screw holes into the plastic using the exacto drilling method mentioned above. I then saudered wires from the switchto the LEDs, bent them to fit inside the rangefinder, then closed the rangefinder up(gluing at just certain spots on the inside lid so it would be relatively easy to openup again when the battery needs to be replaced). The juice from one 3V lithium battery is enough to run both LEDs for a long time.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
