I don't know if they receive power or if it was a sensor merely to tell the lights when to pulse.  I mateched the cables by color and removed the unnecessary 2 cables on the fan connector, and soldered them together. I am wondering if this will work or if im going to just overvolt something by using my ghetto adapter.
