Ok I finally finished this and found the dimmer switch wire. It is orange w/ a brown stripe, however, the only place to find it is connected to the 4wd switch to under the shifter. ![]() I'm going to mount my switch box (Currently in the process of making) below the compass so you cant see that ugly wire. ![]() Its a S-53 Ritchie Navigation Explorer Compass 2 3/4-Inch Dial with Surface Mount (Black) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001449AC0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 It lights up green w/ a rinky dink bulb below the bezel. I think I'm gonna replace it w/ a nicer white LED so you can actually read the face easier at night. Otherwise it works great. Definetly glad I grabbed a marine compass because the vibration from my tires would drive a cheapy compass crazy. More Pix when it gets dark! |

Looks good. I was wondering what you needed the dimmer for. Does that block the vents on the top of the dash at all? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus |

Not rly actually, Its set forward a bit because of the windshield so I blocks like 3/4 inch of the vent but it doesn't rly affect it. Actually the night I mounted it, it was rly foggy and they worked fine. |
