Shouldn't be a prob. They are DC, RED+ BLACK- , Should work 12+ volt and a ground.?:nod:

The 12V leads from the PSU are yellow.

i need to wire it to a 4 pin conn, the wires are clear, so i dunno, + 2 wires into a 4 pin connector, hmm

OK. The wire that goes to the center contact on the car plug (+) connects to the yellow wire on the 4-pin. The wire to the shell (-)connects to one of the black wires. Forget the other two wires.

The clear insulated wire pair should be marked in one of three ways:

1. If one wire is copper and the other is silver (tinned), silver means black (-) and copper means red (+).

2. If there is a stripe on the insulation, usually white, that means black (-).

3. If one side has ridges on it. That means black (-).
