Change a fan plug?

Someone gave me the Lian-Li fans with individually addressable RGB lights, but they have some property plug, but I don't have the controller, I don't want to use the controller, in fact, I won't even be turning on the lights on the fans. Is there a way to swap out the plugs from my old fans to those new ones?

the 3 pin powers it and since you don't want the light you don't have to plug the other connector

That looks like a normal 3 pin fan plug to me....

 

Also you wouldn't need to cut the wires, just push in where you see the silver sticking out then pull the wire out. The whole female part of the wire crimp will come off and you could put that into a standard 3 pin fan plug (if this isn't one.)
