Hey,
I am installing my aftermarket deck in the GP and I have ordered a customer dash kit from humount.com that has text that will be illuminated with a LED bar. I was just wondering how to wire up the LED so that it comes on with my dash lights, and can be adjusted with the dimmer knob? If I connected the +12V for the LED bar to the orange wire (dimmer/illumination for the deck), will it work?
Thanks!

You won't care. I have the kit, and it isn't very bright to begin with:



If you wire it to your dimmer, you'll lose it.

Oh ok, cool. If that is as bright as it gets, that'll be fine.
This is what my kit looks like:

and this is the lettering I am having done:

Should look pretty good all done up.
