Red led light case mod?

[army1506]

Hey guys. So I want to color the inside of my pc with red LEDs. Now I know you can just buy strips of red LEDs, but I'm not sure which one is best for a case, and I don't know what kind of plug they have on them for the power source. So can anyone give me a link to a red led strip, and tell me what kind of plug they have at the end of them?

might help if we knew what country you are in for the link

but heres a uk link

normally they plug into a 4 pin molex connector

some like these ones can be daisy chained

Alright so if I get this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA15Y0KD0563

Will the molex connecter come with it?

 

[mcnumpty23]

nope--that was from my first link--thats for cars you would have to wire that in

the ones on my second link are for pc

Haha, yeah I just realized it said automotive on it right after I posted. So if I get a led strip (that is for pc lol) will it come with a molex connector or..?
