Illumination wire
My replacement stereo has an illumination wire. This controls dimming functions of the radio in conjunction with the dash lights. Where do you guys in the know recommend I tap in? My first thought was either at the dimmer switch, or even easier, to the cigarette lighter bulb.
any better ideas?
Thanks!

Is this a wire that goes into the head unit, and triggers dimmer display lights when it sees power? That's what I think you are describing.
I hooked mine up to the ashtray/lighter bulb wire.

Yes, that’s the one! Perfect. I did away with my ashtray in my double din conversion, and thought the bulb/wire would be a good place to tap it.
Thank you for the quick reply, as I am in the throes of the wiring right now.
