That is how mine are done. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33946-urgent-help-gauges/#findComment-518112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you want the lighting to dim along with the instrument lights?The blue/red is the -ve side and the blue/white is the +ve side. If you put a voltmeter across these wires you will see the volts go from about 2.8V up to 11.5v in steps as you operate the dimmer switch. These same two wires exist behind the power socket.Hope this helps.Cheers,Scott Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33946-urgent-help-gauges/#findComment-519319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
