I make a small slit in the lower part, to fit in it the mobile lower part of the toaster, in order to illuminate the interior, in 2nd place, to fix the mechanism in the lower part, so that it does not bother and leaves free hollow, 3rd This piece will also separate the lateral wires that center the bread.

1st lighting test, temporarily connecting the battery holder and the LED, to determine at what height the LED should be placed, glued to the metal plate, which for these high luminosity LEDs acts as a heat sink.

Checking different heights where to place the LED, the most suitable in the middle of the side wall.

View of the welded switch, protected the 2 connections with heat shrink tubing and view of the kitchen table where I do the work. It is not necessary to have a workshop table to be able to develop a hobby.

The tool is locked in place and the illumination point looks like it is working, allowing us to work with 100% illumination of the interior part, compared to the other dark hole.

Detail of the screw + embedded head nut, so that it does not get stuck in the slot where it is inserted (it has an L-shaped edge and would get jammed), I have sheathed it in heat-shrinkable tubing.
