Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if its possible to use the dimmer knob to adjust the light output on the glow gauges, or do they require a constant 12 volt to make them light? Reason I ask, they are really bright at night, abit too bright!! Cheers |

My gauges didnt come with a dimmer, just an on/off switch which i directly connected to my side lights so that they would come on when you turn the light switch stalk.
So really I could just connect the 2 power wires directly into the dimmer knob on the dash and that should work i guess? very bright at night  Day
