How to Install Cold Cathode Switches

[Andr000w]

sweet this helped me out so much, i'm putting a 4" blue one up top like you and wiring it into my storm scout light switch.

[rawrmadmonkey]

where did you get those switches from?

[Kingnothing8585]

@rawrmadmonkey You can get them at Radio Shack. The model number is 275-0023--at least that's what it says on the package they came in.

So you basically needed power to supply the switches for their LED, just to switch on the cathodes that need power themselves. Arsed.

[moose0422]

@Omanlp well yea. you can get switches without the lights but if you get LED switches than you need power going to them.

hey man nice mod I am doing the same thing, just wanted to ask a question, so you have the red and yellow wire hooked up to the switch do i take the black wire that is attached to the molex and inverter plug and split it 3 way, so it goes to the from the molex power, to inverter plug to the switch.

Does this work with a 10A switch LED?

[blowupuate13]

Would you need to ground it if you did NOT have illuminated toggle switches?

[hackattackbravo]

nice case ;) i love my haf 932!

Nice tutorial, but you are docked one point... 4/5. Why, you may be wondering? First, the good. You were very thorough, spoke clear, gave good ideas, and had great visuals. Now, the bad... You only get 4/5 because you had some ugly/unorganized wiring. lol. But, once again... Nice vid overall.

How does the red wire go there? Straight from switch to the inverter box or what?

Hey how did u cut the holes for the switches ?

[moose0422]

I used a drill then manually made adjustments if I needed to.

[BabesShugar]

how do u install dat cold cathode ?

[GrimTheToad]

@BabesShugar double sided tape

[p8intballkid]

[escafallen]

[WestCoastMods]

Nice tutorial! 5/5

[hiphopapotomas]

is it possible to use one switch for all of the cathodes?

[moose0422]

Yes just solder all of the cables together and connect them to the one switch

[Homebrew2all]

what if the switch doesnt have LED's?No ground is needed right?Becuz ground is only used for switches with LEDs in them right?

and how did u put the yellow wire into the Molex?Like how did u fit it in there?

[moose0422]

Yea no ground is needed if u don't have LEDs in the switch. I just cut the end of the molex from another cable and left some yellow attached to the connector. Then just soldered the 2 ends

why do you have an apple keyboard?? Unless you have a mac like me. Please visit my other account kingcr3b. yeah im going to put some vids up of my macs on that account. I use this account as a secondary account for commenting.

[moose0422]

I have several mac computers and i really like this keyboard so i decided to use it for my pc

[kingcr4b]

there nice keyboards :D. When they came out and i used it i was like holy cow i like this! It seems like its easier to type with it then other keyboards.

[moose0422]

Yea I agree it's a great keyboard

[Homebrew2all]

also did u soider the wires to the pongs of the switchs?(like for example,the power,did u soider the yellow power wire to the power pong?)or did u use a quick connect?

[moose0422]

I soldered them but u can use quick connects

[Homebrew2all]

cool thanks

if u noe the answer,do u noe how to soider wires to quick connects?

[moose0422]

i dont think you need to solder quick connects. You need the right size for the wires and then you need to crimp them. You need a crimping tool to do that tho

[Homebrew2all]

what do u mean tapped those three black(ground)switches?

like u soidered them 3 together?

[moose0422]

yea i soldered the three together into one

[moose0422]

I dont really know what you are talking about. What thing are you referring to?

[Rickardlowenberg]

hi wats the name of that you have in the front of your case? ;)
