Well one of 2 ways..

if you want it connected to the Parking Lights. on the back of the radio control head one of the connectors has 2 grey wires.. one (pin 4) is the Light dimming line. connect one wire from the bulb to that and the other to ground.

If you want it lit when the car is on.. then when you remove the console piece with the shifter boot there should be 3 wires that are pig tails.. find the switch wire and the ground and wire to that. I have me flame ball on my car right but took the bulb out for now. With the reverse lock out rig I cannot hide the wire very well.

well you can do it with the console plate on the car..
I woud feed the wires down the front through the seam. but to take the boot off the ring on the shifter should pull up and off.. do this after the console plate is off. You will also have to pull the console lid off as well
