Chroma 52mm Gauge: Illumination Signal Wiring

  • The gaugeART CAN Gauge can dim illumination during night when the parking lights are on. Using the factory service manual, find a wire in the interior that switches to +12V power when the parking lights are on. Verify with a voltmeter or test light that the wire receives +12V when the parking lights are turned on.
  • Illumination brightness is configurable in the gauge settings.
  • Note that some vehicles, including many Hondas, have an illumination switched connector in the interior fuse box.
  • Depending on access to the illumination source – use a wire tap (example: Posi-Tap 20-22 GA – search Amazon.com for B0B3815XSG) or splice the factory wire to connect the gaugeART CAN Gauge orange wire.
  • Test the dimming function before reinstalling the gauge.
