Use you dremel to scuff the areas you want to solder to. Thats the only way to get it to stick. And a tip for you...just use side cutters to pull off the stock LEDs and their tabs. There is no easy way to remove them so just rip em off of there. Thats what I had to do when I did mine.

Make sure you clean it, and heat the connection points, not the solder. I just posted a soldering tips post that may help you as well.
