Default How to hook up wires for white face gauge overlays?

I just finished installing my white faced guage overlays. There is a wire coming from the guages into a black box and from there, there is a red/black wire and an on/off switch. Was curious where the red and black wires should be hooked up for the gauges to light up!!!

seems u got the same ones i bought on ebay a little while ago. What i did was remove the cover for the headlight switch and on the wires that lead into it there is a thick red wire and a black wire on the left side the red is power and i just slipped it in its a pretty tight fit as for the black wire i cut it about an inch away from the connector and tied in the ground thats all there is to it. I mounted the switch next to the obd2 connector so it wouldnt show let me know if u have any more q's. I dont really like the way they look 2 much light but i guess its kinda cool the fit isnt too good either.
