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 |

Cheers! I have put the black wire to ground already, I used the metal bar thats situated behind the gauge cluster. I'll attach the red wire to the green wire on the dimmer on thursday and see whats happens. Need to get them dimmed alittle, didnt realise they would be so bright at night, kinda distracting
