u need resistors and a sodder gun in order to hook them up...

and the air vents... just push the inside vent down... grab the bottem of the whole vent and PULL.. it pops out... just pull upward alil

the resistor will just affect how bright the LED is and make sure it doesnt get an unwanted surge. Just keeps it from burning out/ blowing....... Not really a necessity but it would be a good idea.
