Default HDD LEDs for every drive

I recently bought a new case and it comes with 5 extra leds on the front panel. I have absolutely no idea what to hook them to. Is it possible that I could hook them to my other hard drives, so a seperate light will blink for each hard drive?

Having multiple hard drive LEDs is traced back to the days when there was not a HD activity jumper on motherboards. Before motherboards came with the jumper onboard each hard drive had an external jumper to connect an LED. Most hard drives today do not have these connectors. Only a few SCSI drives today are being shipped with these connections.
