I've got a tripod of saas gauges and I'm wondering how you guys are getting the power for illumination? Do the fgs dim through the earth of the lighting circuit? What's the best way to do it?

Couldn't find the earth for dimming so ended up making a small jiffy box with pot to control voltage. I can get some pics if you like although there are plenty of threads where this is discussed.
