**I have a CM storm-trooper model case.


Id like to add some LEDs to the inside of the case. I dont need anything super crazy. (just some red/blue light effect that can see though from the side windows)


*I found some example on google. (below)

Well lowyat sure got those LEDs you are looking for. Usually they sell 30 and 60 centimeters long LEDs. They also have those RGB version which you can have various colors to
your liking.

or

go to garage sales and find lingloong. See if he still sell those 2m NZXT led set.

Since you are using CM storm trooper, either white or red light suits best. I think white light is a neutral light which look good on most build.
Red if you want to match the light of your case top panel switch.

To install them if you got the ones with 3m sticker make sure you clean the surface you want to stick the LEDs so that it wont come off.
If you got the NZXT ones clean the surface first before apply the clips and left it to set first. after that then put the leds.
standby extra 3M double sided tape if the old sticker won't stick anymore.

hope this helps.

Hmm i think you should go and find RGB strip and controller, which should either be NZXT Hue+ or Deepcool LED Kit (cheaper). Red would go best if your case is black though
