Strip the USB cable's outer layer, and the insulation on the red and black wires, cut off the other two (white and green). Take off the battery cover on the moodlight... take out the batteries. Then you will need to use the screwdriver (not in material list) to unscrew the 4 screws under the moodlight.

Step # 4, 5 and 6 Combined

Now you will need to twist, or solder, the 2 wires, red and black, to the proper places inside the moodlight. Then, make a small notch that is big enough for the wire to go through, be careful though! Now you are ready to re-assemble the moodlight and enjoy. The next step is pictures of my end results.
