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 |

Yes it will work. I strongly suggest you use a wire t and not cut and splice the wires. The wires are very short and very easy to screw up. BTW - the color wire is green for the after dimmer power IIRC. It can be confusing if you haven't done it before as all the wires will show power but only the green one is effected by the dimmer.
