    Not exactly. Each wire has 6x 330 Ohm resistors in parallel which is equivalent to 55 Ohm if you want to add a resistor in series before all of them. According to my calculation, you just need a 77 Ohm resistor on 12 V wire.

    After testing, I personally did put an 100 Ohm resistor on the 12 V wire just so the the voltage after the resistor is about 4.8 V (measured using multi-meter). I find 100 Ohm is a safe value if you want to put just one fitting on the line.

    If you are to add more (using the Y connector with it) that value can be decreased even more ( it technically parallel wiring). But I would recommend just to 100 Ohm to get good balance and brightness. Anything more than 100 Ohm with look dim if you add more fitting on one chain.

    Hey could you please elaborate on the process you used to do this. I'm pretty new to wiring so a parts list/ photo of the adapter or diagram would be really helpful also is the 12v wire the first pin on the left of the 4 pin header? 

    Edit: So what I'm thinking is buy wires male and female connectors and a 100 omh resistor and make an extension cable like this. Would this work?
