      hey sammy
      i found it at DollarTree, ....which is the type of store that always has new stuff every 2 weeks cuz they operate as liquidators... >_<
      but i know it sells on ebay for a couple bucks. if you dont wanna waste time searching, that might be a way to go

      for now, plug into your car and mess around lol.

      BTW I got these from walmart and tried to wire them up to another 12VDC strip light I have they are not actually 12VDC there is a resistor in the car adapter. smoke tested instantly. so either keep the car adapter and get a wall adapter or be sure to include the resitor that is in the car adapter in your wiring plans. I will try again, gotta love that walmart return policy though.

      I just got these today and I am liking them so far.

      Here they are on my 120. Sorry for the bad quality, but I can't take night shots with my camera

      I ordered the wall adapter and it finally came from China (took almost a month). I'm gonna go get the led's from walmart soon, but are they available on the website? I couldn't find them, but i'd rather order them online instead of making a trip out to walmart.

      hahah

      Sam, if you want, you could stop by my place to check them out before buying.
      no pictures do moonlights justice. too dark for cameras, they they dont show the corals poppin'.
      i know you're a good DIY wiring guy Sam, maybe you dont need to buy the adapter; just re-wire it or something? lol

      it's just so easy to use the wall adapter though since they're already wired, already cheap, and already have the right resistor in them. Getting the right resistor in the setup, and making it not protrude somewhere is a biatch.

      I just hooked these up as well on my 120. I'll probably need to hook up 2 units but I'll see how it looks tonight.
