By an “indicator” I mean one of those small LED’s used to indicate a device is powered on. There is probably a better adjective I could have used.
I have a small project planned that incorprates one the the 4056 based lithium cell chargers, such as the one sold by mtnelectronics here reviewed by HKJ ….

(sorry… having a devil of a time making a link to HKJ’s page work)
The charger board includes two LED’s, one to indicate the unit is powered and a cell in place and the other LED to indicate that charge has completed. I would like to have the LED that indicates charge completed located remotely. A few inches away poking through the case to be more visible.
One thought I had was to remove the SMD LED and connect it to its new location with some skinny wires. That may not be easy as I can hardly see the thing without a magnifier. The other thought was to simply mount a typical push through the hole LED and connect it to the board with wires. Also needs a careful solder job.
Are there any experienced tinkers who can comment to the feasibility? I am not an expert electronics person but am adventurous and willing to jump in. If I was to use one of the typical LED’s with the “wire legs” is there something I have to watch as far as a value or some spec. See, I told you I am somewhat unversed in the tech aspects. 
Thanks for any help/advice. I have several of those charger boards so I may just experiment with an LED-ectomy and a resolder with some wire extensions if nobody has any ideas.
Gotta find my magnifier glasses……
