How do I add LED eyes to a prop and run it off of 110?

Save your self some hassel and check out Halloween Prop Building Supplies For The Home Haunter - Monster Guts for simple led eyes. Or spend a bit more and check out index
they have some brand new color changing LED eyes and strobing eyes. I have used both from each place and you cant go wrong. Theyalso have the 9 volt battery eliminators, just plug into 110 and they go all night.

Here is an LED calculator if you don't need them to flash or fade
