Do you have a test light? If so, start probing wires and rolling the dimmer switch up and down until you find the one the dims the test light.

naw i don't have a tst light but if i was to hook it to that wire wouldn't

that only dim my stereo when i dim my gauge lights instead of diming

when i turn my lights on . . . i guess if i had a tst light tho i could hold

it on each one while turning my lights on until the tester lit up . . . right ?
