| Not Ranked : 0 score Depends what you illumination wire you mean, the interior illumination wire? Also do you want it to be dimmed with the use of the dimmer dial on the left? What are you installing that needs it?

Hi "theurgy", thanks for being so exact with your questions. I am installing a stereo into my car and i want the unit to dim when the headlights come on. i accidentally wired into the dimmer switch and need to get the right wire this time. Any help is appreciated. i have a 2008 mazdaspeed 3 with no Bose and no Nav.

| Not Ranked : 0 score What harness are you using, mated to what stereo? When I wired mine up, everything on the aftermarket harness and stereo harness pretty much lined up perfectly, no need to hunt down wires. Oh, and the more helpful answer could be "I'm pretty sure it was orange, maybe with a white or silver stripe." Last edited by Fozzy; 05-18-2013 at 07:38 PM.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Yeah, are you using one of those OEM adapter harnesses? Make sure you use one of those and not cutting the stock harness off.

| Not Ranked : 0 score He shouldn't need to use an add a fuse. If he's wiring his stereo the right way, using a harness, he shouldn't have to tap anything. |
