Okay so I have my indiglo gauges wired to come on with my parking lights. Now I was wondering if I could dim them. I found on the gauge clusters blue connector, we have a red wire that I believe is the dimmer, but it's switched to ground. Another wire I might be able to use is the orange dimmer wire that you don't use when installing your HU. Not the illumination wire. Do you guys think either of these options would work?

UnFortunately with those gauges you can't dim them

use the black/red wire in the blue cluster connector. its for dash/park and is dimmable. i had my indiglo hooked there for years no problem. but just curious, doesnt the gauge control come with its own dimmer? i remember mine had a brightness control and also a blue/green color switch (the old style full indiglos). i still miss those sometimes.

Yea, that's kinda strange, cause mine have their own dimmer control that works great.

Gearbox - I have the exact same controller as you with the blue/green switch. They are dimmable on that switch but I thought it might be cleaner to wire it to the factory dimmer

you can try, but i dont think it would work like that. the dimming is different on the stock dash compared to the indiglo **** due to the indiglos using an ac to dc inverter. its technically not compatible with automotive electricals and without the inverter, the gauges wouldnt work. you can try hooking the inverter to the dash light wire, but i doubt it would do anything because the inverter is always expecting a full 12v to function properly.
