Okay mate.

The Red is your ignition live. Best place to get an ignition live is from your car stereo. It will be the yellow wire on the power side of your stereo plug. Splice into this.

The black is the earth. Just find a bolt holding something to the shell and attatch it to this.

The lighting is so the gauge knows when you have your lights on to backlight the gauge. You can get this from anything thats illuminated when the lights are on. I'd take it from the lights on the back of the heater control panel. Splice into the feed to the lamps that light that up.

Remember to use proper connectors, and to use electrical tape to cover all your connections. And always wire stuff up with the ignition off and probably the battery disconnected. ;)
