Powering glow gauges, adjusting light output Options

[MattCelicaSR]

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

Thanks for the info

So the two wires that power the gauges, which one do i connect to the green wire, red or black or either?
sorry for all the questions, what to make sure I get it right.

You'd have to look at the wiring diagram on the gauge instructions to be sure but if you only have 2 wires in your kit and one is red and the other is black then I'd say Red is (+) and should go to the green wire in the dimmer and black is (-) and should go to ground [any unpainted metal surface will usually work].
And don't worry about the questions - IMO that's what this site is for - helping others and getting help.
