I need help with a led driver. I got black box led light from a friend after some of the leds went out. I saved the drivers, but I forgot to take a picture of how they were wired up. Can some please help. I'm needing to know which wire is the a.c. in and which ones I plug into the dimmer, and which ones go to the leds. Thanks

The 2 white wires at the top of the picture are your AC In.
The red and black on the bottom left go to the LED's.
The yellow, white, and black are for the dimmer.
 


In this video, he takes apart a box that has similar drivers to yours, don't know if that helps at all. But I unfortunately am unfamiliar with the internals of the black boxes.
 
Brew has it spot on.
Are you using the dimming circuits from the original black box?
They need 12VDC fed to them from a separate power supply.

As a side note, I thourougly enjoy chinese "documentation" the dimmer ciruit label says Red, Yellow, White. Red....Black....same thing right?
OP, sorry if that last bit confused, Red and Black in DC wiring are NOT the same thing. Except in this case...:D
