LEDs?

Ok, so I've never installed LEDs before, my first time. They only screwed in one way but since I'm waiting on a cpu and motherboard (my cpu fried so thanks to Gogeta4832 I'll have one soon and my board was DOA but newegg is great about those things so getting a replacement as well) I can't test them out. So my question is, how do I know if they are "sucking air in" or "blowing air out"? The front, or what I would assume to be the front because it had the label on it as well as a few numbers had to be put against the case itself in order for them to screw into the case. Tried to put them on the other way but that didn't work at all. So, could anyone tell me which one it is in reguards to the sucking or blowing (and try to keep it clean 😉 I know I sure did!).
 
You probably should have put (in the title) that you're talking about FANS. As it is, you have to read into the post to find out what you're talking about.

As for fans, every single fan I've installed, looked at, or heard of, has arrows on it's side indicating both rotational direction and air flow direction. Look for those and position the fan accordingly. DON'T assume that the lable is always out and such...

i have a 120mm fan in my case that does not have an arrow, i think its a kingwin.
 
Yeah not all have arrows...
Anyway usually point the label toward what you are cooling. (label-side = suck) (no label = blow)
That is the orientation that all the non-arrowed fans I have used were.
 
As I mentioned, each and every fan I'VE looked at, or encountered has had the arrows. They might be small and more diffcult to find, but they are there. If they didn't bother to take the time to mark the fan, I'd question as to what else they skimped on.
