First you need to cut off the lego guys head, I used my rotary tool to do this.

Now you need to drill a hole where the head used to be about the same size as your LED.
After that hollow out the inside of the lego guy.

Wires

Now attach 2 wires to your LED and push it through the hole in the top of the lego guy then fill with hot glue

Switch

The switch is optional but is highly recommended.
after you have wired your switch glue it to the back of the lego guy.

Battery

Now solder both sides of the battery to the wires using the correct polarity.
(I am not responsible for bodily injuries caused by exploding batteries)

Legs

Now cut the stubs off the legs and glue them back on the body.

ITS ALIVE!

Now test it out.
I used a connector to secure the battery and it has been very reliable.
