I am running an alpine radio that has a dimmer function wire. It hooks somewhere, I assume, into the headlight switch. This should allow the radio illumination to match the dash light illumination when the headlight switch is pulled on. I know the headlight switch has a rheostat that controls the light output for the dash but the switch itself has multiple poles off of it and i have no idea if one of them is responsible for what im looking for.
Anyone have any ideas? the wire diagrams i have in the hayes manual are very small and don't really help please and thank you |

You can use one of these piggyback spade connectors to add the wire to any illumination bulb spade to connect the dimming wire from the stereo. $0.80 at Digikey.
