Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

They have instructions.
You probably need ground, ignition power and a direct battery line.

you connect wire to each of the three hex nuts.

one for ground
one to dash lights power for the light
one to ignition controled 12v power (cig lighter works fine)

oh wait you only need two of the hex nuts. The bulb has its own power and ground.
