yeah solder. you gonna have to then make "jumper" rows on the PC board. You should just solder all the little pins together in 2 rows or however you want.

yea.. i made a couple already, they are truely homemade quality but they work awsome. i hot glued the LED to the board and sodered the rest like they said.
- i may have done it the hard way.. but i dont know, this works so im all good. 
make sure u cover the finished product in somthin so it wont short out. |

Looks good, but if you get a PC board with metal contacts on it, then... you don't need to use hot glue. You can solder it only.
