Yes, discover which is power and which is negative and connect to the battery...

get a car battery and in your case looks like the red wire connected to the relay with the black tape on the terminal is live to all lights.

connect that to positive of battery....

I suspect the lights earth through the mountings so touch each mounting to the battery negative.


actually scrub that, closer look at the photo some of those connections look dodgy.

Easiest is to look at each light will probably have a single wire coming out of each...connect that to battery positive, case to negative.

If 2 wires just connect one to positive one to negative doesn't matter which.

... He won't see that bit of advice now.

But on the plus side, he knows they work. :)

Maybe next time don't aim the lights at yourself
