Power cables will only light up or become illuminated in the fashion you seek if they are cables which have a UV-reactive coating or have lights inside them. Plain jane cables will do nothing that other plastic won't.

i understand that but my cables are uv sensative or coated or wahtever the heck they need to be i just want to kno how to light em up

You need an actual UV light then. You can get a tube but make sure it is a UV tube and not just a light.

yea i had the same problem. i bought an IDE cable that was UV sensitive and put just a regular LED in my case and was wondering why the cable wasn't lighting up. so i bought a pair of Vastech Cold Cathode UV tubes. looks pretty sweet once u get it all installed
