Hi mate, the red and black to ignition need to go to + and - of the battery to power the gauge.

The other red and black are only needed to illuminate the back light of the gauge and you can tap that into anything on your dash that comes on when you turn your lights on.

Do not connect them to the battery otherwise the backlight will be on 24/7 and drain your battery.

You can connect to things such as dash lights, ciggy lighter "light globe", ash tray light, clock, etc.
