The plastic flame cap for the tea light is also used for the torch flame.</p> <p>The base printed piece is designed to fit the guts of one of the tealights listed below. Any of the three columns can fit on top and be glued or just set on top.

Start by carefully removing the bottom piece of the tealight, it was easiest after removing the battery. Push the tea light base into the column base making sure it is properly aligned. There is an alignment notch and two pins that should all line up. The tea light should click into place and the LED will be left protruding from the top of the base.</p> <p>Cut the acrylic rod to length, slightly less than 2". Test fit in column. The bottom of the rod should just touch the LED when assembled. You will also notice that the rod sticks out at the wrong angle from the torch. After removing the rod, bend the end of the rod using a heat gun to warm it up until it will stick straight out of the torch. After it has cooled sand bent end to disperse light. Insert the rod back into the column and put the plastic torch piece in place. Twist it while pushing down to insert the lower lip into the torch mouth.</p> <p>Use the switch to turn on the light and you should be good to go, enjoy!</p>
