Source for individual RGB LEDs?

[Kalm_Traveler]

I decided to go ahead and jump on the RGB bandwagon somewhat so my motherboard, RAM, incoming pump, waterblock, keyboard, mouse, etc are all Asus Aura sync RGB but my sound card has a red LED onboard. 

 

Figured I could just remove it and add an RGB LED in it's place along with a connector to link it up to a motherboard RGB header but I am having some trouble finding where to buy a single diode that does RGB and is 12v (I'm assuming this is what the MB headers need?). I found one on Amazon that looks about right but it is 5v, so I think 12v would at best melt it, at worst go supernova and destroy the universe as we know it.

 

Am I just searching for the wrong terms in Google? Found some RGB LEDs on ebay but they don't specify the voltage.

What are you looking for?

You're making alot of work for yourself by doing that, and also voiding your warranties for each part you do it to.

 

Honestly wouldn't recommend it.

not exactly those, this is the thing I found on Amazon:

If you are wanting to wire up LED's to standard 4 pin RGB headers, your best option would be to get RGB SMD5050 LED strips as they would essentially be a plug and go solution with a need to build circuits and select resistors for RGB diodes.
