Gauge Dimmer?

[Onetechyguy]

I have the headlamp switch wired into a 12volt circuit right now, should that get wired into the dash light circuit so the gauge can dim with the dash lights?

Thanks

Does someone have the info?

Please excuse my poor english, but I'm not sure to understand what I have to do if I want my gauge to adapt to night or day conditions...


DIM: This trimmer works in conjunction with the head lamp switch. When it sees a 12V signal, the trimmer becomes active. This coincides with night drive conditions. The high- intensity led used on the dash gauge is too bright for night motoring. so wiring in the “purple wire” from the 4-way power plug to the head lamp switch is essential. Do not wire it to the car’s interior dimming circuit or unexpected results may occur.



Does it mean that I have to connect the purple wire to the black one of the gauge harness?

well, I now understand that i have to connect the purple wire to the 12V of the headlight switch.

Does it work with the blue dimming wire of the stereo (if I connect it to the purple wire)?

The 12V has to be a solid, dimmer circuit will not work.

Ok, i'll connect the 12v coming from headlamp switch to the purple wire

Thanks for all your help
