Before we start let make it clear that this Lights should NEVER be connect in Parallel with other hardware like Hard Drivers.

It is okay to have this LED on a Parallel with other lights.

We are going to add Male and Female 4-Pin Molex

First Cut 1Black and 1 Red (or any color) 18 GAUGE WIRE (IT MUST BE 18 or THICKER)

Get a MALE pin and place the small 26 Gauge wire under the big 18 Gauge wire inside the pin.
Close the pin.

Get a FEMALE pin and close it on the other end of the 18 Gauge wire.
Close the pin

Insert the NON-BLACK MALE pin on the 12V hole of the MALE Molex
This 12V hole is the one on the RIGHT when the Diagonal cuts on the top (look at the images)

The Black Male Pin goes to the left of the 12V hole

Same thing happens on the Female Pins and Molex but opposite sides.

I have worked on computers for a while now. The red wire on a molex cable is 5v power the yellow cable is the 12v line.
