As long as the illumination is tapped into the purple wire of the dimmer switch.

edit: Also, you must tap the black and white wire right next to the purple for your ground point. It technically controls the dimming.

After purchasing through www.amayama.com I can say, from experience, this is definitely the best site to purchase OEM parts.
Good prices, international shipping and the parts arrived in less than a week with zero customs charges.

I highly recommend to anyone looking for OEM parts.

Glad to hear it post up pictures once you finish up the install!!!

Actually I think I was wrong. It's technically controlled through the ground wire, not the 12V+. So, you have to make sure you tap the black and white wire (pin 3) right next to the purple wire (pin 2) coming from the dimmer as your ground (as opposed to just grounding it on a bolt somewhere). The purple wire makes a convenient + wire to tap though since it's right there.

Nope. It does dim.

What did you use as the ground?

It is the same part number I give in the original post. It is not plug and play with pre-2015 cars, as explained.

Merci Guillaume ! T'as plus qu'à le mettre sur le site français !

Just a thing : if you remove the copper part, the moving part of the knob can be removed and then it is easier to remove the transparent top part from it.
