Gauge dimming?

[maj Andres]

So I got my self a couple of gauges from Stri (boost and water temp) and for the "light source" I spliced into the wire that lights up the 12V output in the center console. Now when I dimm the cluster and all other light bulbs on the interior, shouldn't the gauges also dimm?

It won't unless you're tapped into the illumination wires(dimmer switch).

So the wires coming from the dimmer knob its self?

Yes, I wired my white face gauges into that and was going to wire my engine gauges into to so they won't be on all the time.
