This is a pretty easy step.  Look where the motor wire comes out of the fan.  This is where we want the LED wires to come out as well.  Start with the two LED's closest to it.  Angle them so that the cable coming off the LED is going towards the motor wire and push the LED's into place.  You don't have to glue them in unless they don't fit very well otherwise.  Use transparent tape (I used the cheap Walmart stuff that is truly clear) to tape the LED cables tight against the fan.  Then put in the other two LED's also with their cables wrapping around on top of the other LED cables, tape them down and then tape the 4 cables together (you should have a clean looking square bundle of wires and then tape this bundle to the motor wire.  Your RGB fan is almost complete, now for something to control it with.
