First of all you need to mount it in a position such that everyone can see when the light comes on. On the bonnet is probably an ideal place (middle of the bonnet I'm thinking).
To wire it up connect the negative wire (usually black) directly to your car aerial, and the positive wire to a metal point on the gearstick. There may also be a signal wire, which actually needs to be held (dry hands - sweaty ones may not work) at all time while you are driving in the car.

ye cant be right so dont stress kingcorolla,

i mean if it was mounted on the dash you couldnt have a windscreen, if it was mounted on the outside of the car above the bonnet as some people do you wouldnt be able to see where you were going, and if you mounted it on the passenger side then people behind you would think you always had a passenger with a perfectly round head so i cant see it working or fitting anywhere
