Ok Question #1
I purchased a Bulgin Vandal Switch Illuminated Red. What are the power requirements compared to a regular LED? Do I need a resistor? Will it work as hooked up to the Power LED on a MoBo?

If it will work as a Power LED, what are the 2 pin connectors for the Power LED connection on the MoBo called? Where can I get some? Crimpers too?

from the looks of it all but one of the switches they make can be ran directly from the power led

Thats what I thought. I just wasn't 100% positive.

Because I hate splicing and it looks ghetto, the connectors, what type are they? I can find some somewhere, cuz I want to use a different color wire. The Red/White, Blue/White thing just ain't cutting it. Course, I could just sleeve it. I'll figure it out.
