The item you selected, Sealed 6 Inch Oval LED Trailer Utility Light, part # BUL78C3MB, draws .080 amps at 12.8 volts.

The white wire is the ground wire and the red wire is the power wire. You would attach the white wire to a good ground connection point on the tractor and run the red wire to the battery of the tractor. If you want to be able to turn the light on and off, you can use a simple switch like part # D16740.
