Step 2Open up the USB cable
Use the wire cutters to cut off the end of the USB cable that does not go into the usb port.
Cut down the end of the plastic covering the wires about an inch down and cut off the rest of the plastic up to that point.
You should see 4 different colored wires. red, black, green, and white. Cut or pull back the green and white wires and tape them down. You don't need these wires since those are used to carry information.
Now strip the red and black wire about 1/3 of the way or so.
And insert the cord into your case.

you do not need a resistor if you use 4 LEDs. Other than that you would. If you want you can add a resistor you can, 100 Ohms should be fine, or you can go less for brighter leds, try playing around with a few.
