I'm trying to connect a second activity light power connector to my motherboard but it only has a front header that offers one HD+ and HD- section that is already populated (system SSD).

The additional tray is an ICY BOX

Any advice on the simple solution for this? Please see below.

Solution
If your SSD is connected to the MoBo via onboard-SATA, and the Disk in the MobileRack is connected to the onboard sata as well, and the power-LED of the case is connected to the onboard-pins of the HDD-LED, the LED will light up whenever one of both is active. So, your problem should not even exist. Is that the case? Try it.
