Pickup replacement ?

[yanner]

I have just purchased some used pups(V7 and a V.I would like to put these in my Jackson Performer.now my problem is that my jackson Pup only has 2 wires (white= hot and ground).As you know the V7 and V8 has 3 wires red ,white ,ground.How are these new pups setup?Is the red hot or is the white the hot?And what to do with the "other wire"(not the ground)?The pickup config is H-S-H with a 5 Way switch.As you can tell I am new to this but I can solder.any help appreciated.
thanks yanner
P.S. i own a 87 proline series in which I am having the body refinished so i picked this up to play while mine is being refinshed

Yanner, the V7 & V8 are great pickups.

The Red wire is hot.
The White wire is your coil split
The ground (bare) is your...ummmmm...ground.

Solder the bare wire to the back of your volume pot.
Solder the red wire to the switch where the Jackson pups white wire is.
Solder the White wire to where the coil split lug.

Need more help, I can send you a diagram. Just let me know what switch you have.

PS..FYI, The V8 is your bridge pickup.

Jimm,Thank you very much for your help...I have *a couple of ? to ask...what is the coil split lug and as I am looking at the switch I can find no # or identifing marks marks on the switch.the only thing on the *stamped on the switch is number 3....but if this helps it is a strat type 5 pos switch...and yes any diagrams would be very helpful and greatly appreciated as my Ibanez Pro will be away for some time.These pickups are in great shape...and cant wait to to here how they will upgrade my jackson
thanks from a newbie
