The LED power supply is buried in the bulb assembly.  You just wire the old fluorescent bulb connectors directly to the AC line, and
disconnect/remove the old fluorescent ballast.

The exact wiring depends on which bulb you buy.  You should get detailed instructions with the bulb.  With some bulbs and some
fixtures, you may have to replace the connectors (aka tombstones) as well, but you can still reuse the fixture.
