the wires that i have seen some out of those kind of gauges are for the backglow on them.   Pretty sure you have to wire it to a 12v and a ground for them to work.  They should have a small box on them (the wires) for the resister or whatever it needs to convert the 12v into what it uses for the glow... (like a LED does sorta).

just directly wire them... The little box is only so u can dim them and change the colour. I hard wired mine and left it out.

or it needs to have a box between car power and the unit?  Maybe it needs to only run on 5 volts or lower amperage or something?

Take them out put them directly to the battery...

12v DC should light these up.
