Is there anywhere that show pictues etc of this being done? I kinda wasnt expecting them to come the way they did and im kinda stuck because I dont want to make a mistake putting them in.
 
What exactly is it that you are having problems with? The order of the wires, or taking the wires out of the current molexes?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and how exactly did they come? Just the plastic molex connector with nothing else?
 
They came with the blue plastic bits and then little packets of metal strips. I assume these are the bits onside each connector, but I dont know how to get them on.
 
so you're telling us that the wires are bare and stuck in the plastic molex with out any metal covers on the tips of the wires? :D

I think I'm confused :confused:

I'm still not sure of the situation, maybe if you give us a bit more background info, we can all be on the same page here. ;)

So you bought new molex connectors, guessing because they were blue and you wanted it to look good inside your case, right? And you bought them to replace your current molex connectors of your PSU? If so, do you need to go through the process of putting the metal tips on each of the 4 wires that go to the molex? I was assuming not, that it was already done, but correct me if I'm wrong.
