yep one is positive to put to a live wire the other is your earth wire to go to the cars earth, what ever you hook it up to there will be a live and earth there, usually black is the live brown is the earth | |

i wired mine up to the side lights, they come on when the lights are on and also have their own switch box. it is truly easy, i didnt know what wire did what but still figured out what each wire was for. | |

right the + needs a live wire, you can use all differet ones, i would go for cigarette lighter live, then you need an earth use the one for the lighter too, wire your neons together + to + and - to - then run a wire from where they are joined to either the + or - all you do with the switch it cut the wire going to either + or - amd put the switch between the cut so when you turn the switch on it makes the circuit, mind you the cigarette lighter is only on if ignition is so you might want a permanant live | |
