stupid question. cosemetic in nature.
I bought a sickleflow coolmaster red LED 120mm fan on sale for $5.00, however, this fan
is to be installed on the Top of the computer which is to be an OUTFLOW fan.
When the fan is installed, The LEDs lights are on the wrong side unless set on INTAKE fan.

can this be fixed?
and assuming not... when I purchase a light with LEDs, how do I know if they'll be the right side.
none of the products I see, say inflow versus outflow

also, the top is built for 3-120mm OR 2-140mm... I know 3x120mm will give me better outflow but the case already has several big fans preinstalled and I'm not super-clocking... so I'm thinking 2x140mm will give me enough while be quieter... thoughts?
 
Solution
No. The LEDs are always at the front of the fan - intake side. Mainly because they are for front mounted fans.

Just add a led strip here and there to get LED light where you want.
