Apparently the PO wanted the instruments to be lighted with the low beam headlights (red/black wire). It would make more sense in this case to connect them to the taillights (black wire) so they would light with any lighting selection, as John notes above. The original light should be switched off by rotating the cover, which can get quite hot.
