    lazer leds on a rocker switch...

    Would there be anyway to do this? They use 3pin connections for power... anyway to take off the 3pin adapter and connect the wires to the rocker switch somehow?

    oh sure. Does the 3 pin have 2 wires running to it or 3?

    If it's just 2, clip the connector off, and then connect the two wired to a red and a black on one of your power supply wires. (if it doesn't work, reverse the wires) now to add the rocker switch, just wire it inline with one of the wires. That way it goes like this : PSU WIRE->switch->LED lead->led->LED lead->PSU WIRE.

    easy as pie.

    oops, almost forgot, if it's three cables (which I doubt, the third cable is for RPM monitoring on fans, and LEDs are really simple little things that only need 2 leads) then I have no idea. Maybe try running 5V across the leads in pairs and seeing if that does anything for you. If so, forget the third wire.
