Solution
RGB lights need a connection to a Controller, NOT just to a 12 VDC power supply. (In fact, the ARGB light system needs only 5 VDC, and would be burned out by 12 VDC.) The Controller does TWO jobs - supplies the correct power, and also supplies all the signals to make the lights go on and off and change.
