Curious also if they're white or blue?

the ikea come in green, white and blue...i have the blue ones as well, have for a while now....2 of them penetrate my tank almost too much, and there are 4 of them

i like the white ones for viewing the tank when i don't have my halides on.

I think I just added another item to my holiday list. Are these plug-and-play? I make a horrible electrician and would rather not try if there is something easier, haha.

yep, you plug them together if you want to use all four, if not you hook a plug into each one, looks kinda like a mini phone jack, put little plastic end caps on and then your set. I sealed mine with silicone cause they aren't the tightest fit when connected up. you could use electricians tape too i guess...they are bright though for sure, i use them also for stereo lighting....
