Just make sure you put it in the right way, not much more too it. Just make sure it's also something decently close to what the NES uses voltage wise.

Just take any one about the same size and put it in there. Just make sure it goes the right way, but you can figure that out just by touching the leads on the PCB for a second. Very simple.

I agree. He sends you the assembled LED light with all the wires 'n hookups (to use ignorant terms). You basically just plug it in and it works great.

Desolder the old LED.
Insert the new LED with the short pin on the right.
Trim the pins and apply solder.
