Excuse me if the answer to this is obvious, but I cannot find any reference to it. I need to wire the small 6V lightbulb from a Happs trackball. Someone told me that the way he did it was to wire it to a spare power connector in the PC, but I'm not sure how. There are 2 connectors on the light (I assume a hot and a ground). I think there are 4 wires on a PC power connector.

Has anyone else done this, or is there a better method? I'd love to be able to wire it a power cord that could just plug into a power strip. Is that possible?

Thanks for any help...I'm so close to being done!!!
