Myron & Davis overhead dvd install help
I have an '04 Scab I just bought the Myron & Davis ADM190 for the overhead.
I heard it was an easy install and it seems like it is but I am completely confused about the dome light wires that it is supposed to get power from.
I have 3 black wires and 1 white wire I dont know which is what. They're all numbered 1-4 but that could mean anything please help.

I'm just screwed, I give up
I used a voltmeter and became more confused by the dome light 3 of the wires read 12volts and 1 is a ground. All the manual says is "remove dome light and install" thats it. I took it to five electronics shop around and they cant tell by looking they have a special tool that can figure it out but it will cost $300 for them to check and install because nobodys ever seen a rail dvd player before only heard about them and dont really know what they are doing. I tried to just rig it myself shocked the hell out of myself and completely burned the backside of dome light(that was a $117 replacement from ford dealership):o now my interior smells like burnt plastic butt. Since the dvd player has nearly surpassed what i paid for it in damages to my truck and personal pride i'm probably just gonna "Office Space" it and rid humanity of its terror.
