right dont laugh it was my first ps2 case mod, shared out the voltage between 4 leds and hooked up to a 9 volts see if it worked and bang! buggers blew up! worked for a while uber bright then went dimb went orange and bang. looks like its back to the drawing board!

Resistors seaney you need a resistor. I knew youd have trouble with that 12v power source.

"470 Ohm resistor for 12volt supply" For each led.
