    a molex yellow wire is 12V and a black is ground, in 99% of cases its simply a case of soldering the yellow wire to your LED strip positive connector, and the black to the negative. That transformer is for if you wanted to run your LED strip from the mains (hence its stepping down from 240v to 12v in the same way as a DC adapter would.

    what ive just said is based on the assumption that your LED strip takes 12v DC as its power input, which most strips do. check your strip to be sure before connecting any wires up :)

    if its actually 12v dc, connect it up and you should be good to go :)
