I'm curious too.... Could we get a picture please?  I really just want my buttons to light up blue, don't need them to blink or anything fancy....   I don't know if these would be easier than to hook up or if it is easier to just wire up some plain LED's in parallel

The other end of the wire has the 5v line marked, but must be separated and stripped for connecting to whatever you want to connect it to.

For a single color, you could probably do as well just by soldering a resistor in-line and using heatshrink.

Thanks RandyT.... I'm gonna go with just wiring up plain LED's with proper resistor for now... maybe in the future order the LED Wiz and Lighting modules and make my buttons "fancy"

Hey Randy, sorry, again more questions. On the RGB Drive boards, is it just a surface trace at the solder points or is it a true barrel that runs through the board?

Double sided boards with plated through holes.
