| |
| − | If you have a spare Molex Connecter with a Male and a Female end joined by the four wires lying around you may like to try this simple yet stunning lighting mod.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | When you have the Molex ready depending on how far you want to lead to be away from the Molex connector, solder two length of different coloured wire to the far left to wires on the Molex. ie. The yellow and black ones.
| |
| − | To make things easier try to use black and yellow wires to match the ones from the Molex.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | When step two is completed solder the shorter leg of your choice of super bright LED to the black wire which you have soldered onto the Molex Connector.
| |
| − | Then solder a resistor onto the longer leg of the LED. Make sure you have a resistor, which looks like the one pictured below
| |

| |
| − | Also make sure the end of the resistor with the gold on itis soldered to the longer leg of the LED not the Orange end.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using electrical tape, tape each the yellow and black wires you have made including the resistor and any exposed wire separately. Then tape them together to make it look neat, heat shrink can also be used for this.
| |
| − | Then turn your computer off and unplug it and push the On button to remove any charge still held and install the LED, then plug you computer back in and Test your work. Here RED has been chosen.
