How do I identify what led's are in my antec fans? I would like to change the color from blue to orange. I know how to do the work, but I don't know what size or volt/watt led's I need. They all have molex connectors so I believe the fans are being fed 12 volts, but I don't believe the led's are are seeing 12 volts. I have all the tools needed to perform the switch, but I don't know the math. Thanks to any who can help.

I may end up painting the fan blades as well for a better effect. Please give me your ideas, (pics). Thanks again.
Edit : I've been looking around and found these (XIGMATEK XLF-F1253 120mm 4 white LED), maybe I'll just switch mine out and change the led's to orange from white.

I used these for my 1200 fans:

They work like a charm. Just make sure you check which lead is the anode on the old ones before you cut them off and you should be good.

ELItheICEman, thanks for your response (link). Are they bright, compared to the blue led's against black blades?
