Just very quickly looking at those pics I'd say they just stick on over the top and have the lights built into them as look at the wires coming out of each dial face

Then you just plug them into the inverter it comes with

I should think all you need to do is:

Take speedo clocks to bits
Stick new dials over the top
Plug them into the inverter (we shall call it the "box")
And probably get power to the "box" somehow (probably off the wire that turns live when you put your lights on would be a good one!!)

I don't know you'd have to ask the seller if he provides instructions

And not a problem
