ok im putting in a new headunit and teh wiring harness that hooks to my car has an orange wire(says it goes to illumination) and an orange w/ white stripe(says it goes to dimmer). the wires that go to my headunit only has one orange wire with a white stripe... no solid orange. it says "to car light control switch". which do i hook this to.. the orange or orange w/ white stripe?

I would assume you need to hook it to the orange wire for illumination. You can't dim anything if it's not illuminated.

You can always just pick one, then test it before putting the center console back together.

You are not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fu**ing post count.

youll want to hook it to the "illumination" one, i believe.

you dont really need to have that though, it just dims the HU display when you turn the headlights on.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

i hooked the 2 orange/white stripes together since they were the same color and everything seems to do what its supposed to
