If you fan has LEDs you will need to remove them all. This could be a easy or AWFUL step. Some fans use a MASSIVE amount of glue to stick the LED to the fan. Use a screwdriver to remove the LED and glue from the fan. Some fans are a light amount of glue so it wouldn't be that difficult in that case.

I accidentally slaughter a couple of LEDs while removing the LEDs. The manufactor wasn't so nice at telling me what brand and model the LEDs where. So I just replaced with the ones in this site Super Bright Leds

If anyone else sees a different case please comment about it.

If you need to know information about LED's, you can wire them with a 1K ohm resistor and hook it up to a 12V Battery and measure the voltage drop ;) That should tell ya what you need to run them!
