When you chop off the end of the cigarette lighter (I HATE THE EGG) and have the two wires split, which do you wire them to? I'm aware that one goes to the +12 (Yellow) and the other to the Ground (Black)... Which wire goes where? And what's the best way of connecting the wires into the molex connector?

Buy yourself some molex connectors and wire one where the cigratte lighter plug was.

What I meant was when you cut off the cigarette power adapter and just have the positive and negative power wires, you should wire them into a molex connector. That way you can just plug it into the molex connector of the PSU.

No reason to go splicing wires in your PSU when molex connectors are already there for plugging things in.

for car use i perfer hardwiring or using molex connectors with plastic hooks(that allow the m/f to clip onto each other), its too easy for a male and female molex (standard computer) to slowly wiggle away from each other and leave you ****ed off and have to pull out half of the system trying to find the problem
