I don't quite understand. "front panel rear panel light switch" doesn't help.

Why don't you just use a molex connectors off your psu? Any 12V source is OK

I use to them all the time but now I just run a SATA line. now I find myself using SATA to MOLEX adapters for things like NZXT lighting.

I'd prefer not to add adapters. KISS principle.

I had the same issue with my NZXT H440 with the NZXT LED strip. The case lighting use Molex and the LED strip use molex. I ran a SATA power cable from the power supply then used a SATA to MOLEX adapters
