Hooking up lights to Dune Buggy/Sand Rail?

i just bought a sand rail. the lights are fully assembled and i do not know how to hook up the wires.

The lights are all ready to be hooked up, they have the red/black wires coming out but i dont lknow how to hook them up.

The set up for my buggy is the battery---> one wire to the ignition/switch---> then one wire to the fuse box----> couple wires coming out of the fuse box into----> a switch box.

I cant seem to figure out how to wire my new lights properly.

I alredy have a pair of lights set up, but i dont seem to understand why i cant do the same thing as the lights. there are soo many random wires in the switches box.

THIS MAY SEEM HARD TO EXPLAIN FOR ANYONE>

HELP AT ALL PLEASE

    It appears you haven't got a clue...And your statement saying this may seem hard to explain for anyone. I suggest you bring it to someone who really does understand and has done electrical work on cars before. This is as basic as your are going to get with a vehicles electrical system. You appear to be overwhelmed and you have not even started yet. Get a pro to do it right the first time. Then spend all the other time enjoying your new toy.

    what sort of lights? driving lights? brake lights? a rear running light?

    if you are running driving lights i would run them using a rely and trigger it with a toggle switch. you don't want to be drawing all that power through the switch or the ignition.
