I know this is in the FAQ, but I'm an electronic idiot and haven't read detailed instructions on this anywhere so I thought I'd ask the experts.

I have an old coin door (Asteroids style, to match my cabinet!) that's been restored, and now I'd like to wire the light bulb in its center to a PC power cable. It has 2 black wires coming from the bulb.

I have seen that you're supposed to use the 2 12v wires from a PC power cable to do this, but am unsure which 2 they are. What color wires are they? Also, do I wire these 1 to 1, with the 2 black wires, or do some get twisted together, or what?

Sorry for needing such a specific explanation, but I don't wanna fry myself, the light, or the PC.

Thanks!

Brad
