Basically, just chop into one of the 2 wires that goes into the existing LED. Add your new wire to the chop, and put your new LED on the other end. You have to put them in series... And if you put your new LED on the wrong way, it won't work - but you won't break anything, just turn it round...

also, your existing led power source could be 12v, so if your just putting a normal standard led to it, you may need a resistor putting in the live....
