Connect - lead of LED to - battery. Connect + lead of LED to no1, and + of battery to com1. When the relay is energized the LED will turn on.
When the relay is off the light will go off

You want it to look like this:
LED Relay.png

I have an older but similar 4 channel board. Mine came with LEDs which show when a relay is active. Down the road if you want you can solder a LED (with series resistor as needed) across the relay coil terminals on the board. They serve as an indicator that a relay is energized.

I just did a quick simulation, I am having same problem, led does not light up. Here is interesting observation from the sim:
1. when Normally Open is open, I get 50 mV across led, not enough to turn it on
2. when I activate Normally Open (close it), I get 50 nV across led, not enough to turn it on

We are wiring it wrong. We are wiring it in parallel with Normally Open. We need to put led in series with Normally Open, but would channel too much current through led so we need current divider either in front of NO or after the NO.

LED + to no1
Battery - direct to com1 This should read Battery + Com 1.

this way il understand easyly boss thanks
Actually you have it close but
Battery - direct to com1 This should read Battery + Com 1.

Everything else looks correct. There are a few ways to do it. The relay is only acting as a switch so you can switch Battery + or - to the LED.

Here is what I think it should be.

Battery- to GND on the board.
Battery+ to +V on the board.
Battery+ to Com1 on the board.
LED+ to NO1 on the board.
LED- to GND on the board.

Power your board and as to the relay:

Battery + to Relay Com 1
Relay NO to LED + (LED Anode)
LED - (LED Cathode) to Battery -

That is all there is. It is a simple switch (the relay) powering your LED. Just make sure the LED Polarity is correct. This is what the drawing I posted earlier would look like.

Here is what I think it should be.

Battery- to GND on the board.
Battery+ to +V on the board.
Battery+ to Com1 on the board.
LED+ to NO1 on the board.
LED- to GND on the board.
That would be it. You can switch either side of the LED but the above will work just fine.
