With that particular gauge, it doesn't use the 12v for powering the LED backlight, it just uses it to trigger the gauge to dim when it senses voltage on the line.

Getting something to dim with the dimmer (if that's your goal) is going to require some custom circuitry just like with the older Subaru models.
I think I just need a 12V source. I don't care much about precise dimming, I usually just leave the dash lights full on all the time anyway. The Failsafe has an option to either have a 12V or 0V to trigger the gauge light up.

Where is the Ill+ located? I'm sorry for the stupid questions...
