Default Triple gauge holder in heater vents

Hi all i brought one of these from the pod today off the nomad stall, been having a look at fitting it, I've took the heater vent panel out but not sure how i fit the bulbs and circuit board to the new alloy one. I've done a search on here and looked for a fitting guide but found nothing. So if any one has any info to help me i would be grateful.

Also is it best to block the old heater ducts off?

Thanks and hope i dont sound too confusing

the circuit is on a plastic thing which is stucked on your old heater panel. You can un stuck this and then fit it on the new holder and you are ready
