Post by: trashman on April 23, 2014, 12:01:52 PM: simple i used a 12 volt dc power pack from a laptop and hers the pics of the wireing.though it really bright,i read where you can dim it down with a resistor and make the chaser light chase, but its good like it is for me.

If you buy a RGB controller from China for 10 bucks you can wire the chase lights.

Here is a cheap controller

The remote will read the IR eye if you position it behind the white in Garfield's eye

You will also need the 5 pin adapter to plug into the controller

Other than that it's easy. Just need a 12VDC power supply and match up the colors of the wires for the RGB
