well there is an inverter. wires from the gauges go to that. you then must ground the inverter and connect to a switch. they give you a switch, but i would go to radio shack and buy a nicer ones. you can go with a push button switches, or one of those 3 way on off switches (switches are around $3). all the necessary wiring comes with the kit. good luck. i had bad luck with glo gauges and changed to leds.

splice the red wire into a part time hot..so when you turn your lights on, you can hit the switch and they will also go on...then ground the black wire....put it all together and your done...i think i put the red wire to my dimmer switch or something
