Red wire goes to main power from ur dimmer switch, black wire goes to ANY solid ground point.

My question.... why do people buy things before knowing how they work? (This isn't just u motorcity, its everyone who buys these kits)

seconded,

and Motorcity ditch the switch and tap into grey wire in the gauge harness

Must have happened in the shipping motorcity... Really sorry about that... Sending money back to you...
As far as how they were hooked up, it was exactly as cherrington says, the red wire was to a fuse in the glove box and the black wire was grounded... Real basic install, but apparently those tiny copper wires came off. They were intact when I took it out of the car, but like I said, since you had this problem I'll send you money back...
Sorry it happened, hopefully they will work out for you...
