Doughboy21kd · 10-21-2006, 05:20 PM

I am hooking my Di-pricols back up and each gauge has its own dimmer.....What wire do i tap for gauge lighting on an 06?

I have heard that i need to becareful on the 06's as they are touchy electrical systems?

So anyone know which wire to tap for my lighting for the gauges?

THANKS

i just had my dash apart yesterday and i think i remember seeing the orange w/ a white tracer maybe. if you have a test light and its even there, you could try it. hope it helps. i think i found it on the 2nd try when i was poking around

I have the Di-Pricol Optix series that have the dimmer switches like you have. I was thinking of tapping into the dimmer switch but opted not to. I actually ran a wire out to the front of the truck and tapped into the parking light wire. Much heavier wire with more meat to grab. I did the same on my brothers 05. No problems yet. I also grounded it out under the hood.
