I guess it depends on the gauge, what do the installation instructions say?

Look at page 3 here:

I guess it does work like you say, they run full brightness until the instrument panel cable gets juice. So then, what is the cable for radio dimmer? Thanks for the help!

I pull my feed off the foglight fuse so I can turn off the annoying gauge illumination at night  The warning light is enough in case there's an issue.
For the fuse, run whatever the load should be. I doubt the gauge really pulls that much. Since mine is control unit based I just needed one feed. In the race car I have them all fed off one power wire with a 5A fuse for 3 autometer gauges. Illumination is pulled off the radio illumination wire. |
I honestly don't know exactly if they Dimm or not, I guess I'll figure it out when I install them. Waiting for the Prime Motoring Cluster. Thanks for the help.
