I have it unwired now. I basically split off the out put to each lamp. So it's essentially two lamps running from the same driver.

Haha it wouldn't surprise me! The wiring was done right I think just parallel maybe? I checked it with a circuit tester but it wasn't running the light right?

Am I able to just wire the fan right into the power to the chip or will that effect the chip itself? Do the fans need seperate power?

you can run the lights for a few minutes to check it out without the fans,those heatsinks will be fine for 5 or 10 minutes by themselves.but you need something small,some guys use old cell phone chargers to power a fan or 2.whats the specs on the back of the fan ?

this is a bit overkill for just 2 fans but will work . https://www.onlinecomponents.com/me...ift_ck=4AAEBD28-B62B-4CFD-B7A1-343E647138B5cs

like i said though,an old cell phone charger will work.anything that says 12 volts and .5 amps is going to power those fans.so if your old power plug for a cell says 12 volt and .700 amp or .95 amp those are all fine.as long as it says 12 volts

that first driver i posted will run 4 of those fans perfectly,and also 2 of them for now and you can add 2 later.now these will NOT be wired in series.you will wire in parallel,so they both get the 12 volts.
