The length of your cuts will vary depending on the size of the outfit you have. The most important thing to remember is that LED strips have a "cut line" that is typically every 3 LEDs. It is clearly marked on the LED strips as a line or may contain "scissors" indicating the place to cut. You may have to cut your strips slightly short or long depending on where your cut-lines fall. Slide the torso tubing onto the torso (shorter) LED segment. (pictured above, the next steps will not have pictures because I'm out of hands) You should be able to light it red, green, or blue (sometimes one color will be missing, or combined with another. If you can make pure red, green, blue then you have the wiring correct. It is easy to short the traces on the LED strip such that red+green are combined. Debug and fix this as soon as you notice it) I've seen other tutorials on how to do this but none detailed the LED connections the way I felt they needed to be detailed for beginners. Hopefully this makes it easy enough for anyone to complete this project in just a few hours.

I was also thinking a 4 way connector right under the hood to connect the head, torso and arms together. Then a 3 way connector on the pants to connect both legs and a small piece to match up to the torso.

You can cut LED strips with scissors. When cutting the 12v RGB strips make sure you only cut at the marked locations (which are approximately every 4 inches). Make sure you cut across the middle of the copper connection points. You will be soldering to them later and if you don't cut exactly in the middle you may have trouble soldering to the tiny traces behind the copper pads.

Slit the white sheath covering the power wires about 3/8" to allow you room to work and reconnect the power wires if them come disconnected while you solder on top of them. (Be careful and only slit as much as you need because you will clamp this power cable along with the tubing at the right leg joint).

holding the 2nd exposed section with pliers slide the remaining insulation toward the middle to expose ~1/8 inch. Place the front plastic clamp over all 3 tubes making sure each is push far enough in to have some bite within the clamp.

Plug the AA battery adapter into the LED controller (our connectors have a latch to keep this connection from bouncing loose during the night). Carefully slide the left arm tubing all the way up to the wire joints. Align this on the clamp. (hold in place) I cut each piece of tubing to fit a matching LED strip. I cut them slightly longer then trim them as needed. Later when you try and clamp the tubing you will need to make sure the tubing is long enough that it fits snugly in the plastic clamps.
