Defi Link Meter Ii Install

[falcon]

Hello... So I have installed my Link Meter II and it works great. I did leave one wire not connected, the Illumination wire. Right now, the gauges are VERY bright in the dark and hurt my eyes. You know how the climate control unit dimms slightly when you turn on your headlights?.... well is that what the illumination wire does for the Defis? Does anyone know what wire to tap into to make this function work? My gauges work fine, but I just need them to be a bit dimmer at night. This is all on a r32 Gts-t.

Thanks!

I used the back of my headlight switch on my 32 gtr and yes it dims the gauges when you turn the headlights on.

do you remember which color wire you tapped into? THats where I hooked up my daytime running lights (needed in Canada).. and used the yellow wire. Is it the same one?

Ok, so far I have not been able to make it work. I have tried to attach the white illum. wire to the headlight switch, the little light that's by the ignition, the illumination wire on my headunit and also the one on the climate control (red/blue? is this correct?) Anyhow, I am getting annoyed because I can seem to figure this junk out.

Does anyone else here have Defis? And where did you attach your white illumination wire?
