Hello guys i have that rgb strip but i dont know what i need to make it light from 220V can u help me and tell me what i need to do and what i need..

Unless you know what your doing I wouldn't suggest trying to wire mains voltage, but you basically need to wire up the transformer at 220V and take the 12V lead, (positive and negative) and connect it to the barrel adapter on the controller unit either by getting an adapter made or cutting the barrel adapter off and splicing it in directly. 

 

I would suggest instead to get a power adapter you plug in as that would be a much simpler solution.

No it can be used but if your not comfortable splicing and wiring in mains this would be the next best option.

So for that driver i just need connectors ?

For the DC 12V side you require something like this to go from the two wires into the controller, either will work as long as it's the correct size for the barrel adapter.

That's the 220V side you need marettes or mains rated terminal blocks such as this to wire directly to the mains cable in the wall, it just depends on what electrical standard is within your area.

@W-L Sorry for asking again but that another cable of the led controller where should be plug in ? (not that one that is like circle that is for power supply i guess... another one where.. ? )

I assume this one, it's an IR receiver for the remote, just make sure it's somewhat visible so when your point the remote in that general direction it will be able to change the colors and lighting mode.
