    Default pro plus vaccum gauge dimmer wire?

    hey all my new pro plus vaccum gauge has arrived and ive noticed it dosnt come with a dimmer wire, does anybody know if i can wire one in or if the gauge is un dimable, it has 4 plugs but only 2 are used

    also while were on the subject does anybody know if the gauge can change colour? it dosnt have a button on the back of it like the other gauges do

    just curious

    cheers

    whats to stop you from hooking the illumination wire to the same wire your cluster gets its illumination power from? instead of the headlight power.

    That way, when you switch your headlights on, the cluster will illuminate, as will the gauge, like normal.... BUT.... when you dim your cluster with the factory dimmer on the headlight switch, the reduced voltage that dims the cluster, will also dim the gauge?

    Im not sure how it will work... but it should? ... try it and let us know?
