no, they are only 3v. You can run an LED without a resistor, so the 12v switches will be very dim, unless you can take the resistor out.

According to the Ebay description, the LED is on it's own circuit.

So this will be very simple as there probably is no resistor.

This switch is similar and has no resistor: two contacts for LED @ 3v and two contacts for switch.

Ok,so I will plug the switch led direct on a molex,which one are the positive and negative wire for the 12v?

As I said above:

You can find 12v on the yellow wires of your PSU's molex connectors.

To answer your next question, black is negative and red is 5v.

The switch you were looking at on ebay is a described as a "latching-type" which If I understand that terminology correctly means it stays live/connected when pushed on.

The type of switch you need is a momentary "switch" that makes contact when pushed and drops the contact when released. These are the switches used to trigger the Power supply and computer starting and resetting.

The one redundant linked to looks more appropriate for your purposes unless I have misunderstood what "latching type" means:

This switch is similar and has no resistor: two contacts for LED @ 3v and two contacts for switch.

Yeah I saw this one is latching type,I saw a couple of pushbutton from the same seller that are momentary... http://cgi.ebay.ca/2-Momentary-Blue-...QQcmdZViewItem

Yeah thats a 110V one your gonna have to rig something to power the led. Im going to stop posting in this thread now though because every time anyone does anything helpful you tell them you know it all and you never say thanks and thats getting boring.

Why,I can't express my own opinion?Go post somewhere elese if you are not confortable here,but don't says that I don't take advice from other users...

P.s : For user that are interested,i found this momentary switch with led on 12v : http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...link:middle:ca
but I started looking for a lightened selector switch for a better industrial look...

That's not what I said. what I said was:

If that isn't clear: I would defend with my life your right to express an opinion. But I am not going to waste any time on someone who keeps asking questions, saying they know it all and then never thanking anyone who is helpful.

Because all that ^^^^ is plain ignorant.
