There's the correct link.
one word of advice: make sure you use the wiring diagram found in the official FIRST drawings (the link above). Do not use the one in the "Guidelines, Tips and Good Practices" manual. The diagram in the manual is a bit confusing, and the jumper from pin 1 to pin 4 of the digital relay is very easy to miss if you confuse it with part of the coil symbol on the drawing. Several teams have made this mistake, and assumed that their light was not working. When wired correctly (per the 2007_ROBOT_SIGNAL_LIGHT_R1 drawing), it should work fine.
