I installed a radio but I do not have the dimmer function when I turn on my headlights. What wire can I tap into for this function? The car is a 98 with ****-style a/c controls. Thanks.

So you have the function with headlights off?

No, I don't have it at all... Sorry, that was a bit misleading in my question.

I asked this same question after doing my stereo install. I was told to get the dimmer to work you have to tap into a yellow wire on the left side of the a/c controls. I have not done it yet but that is what I was told.

Yeah, I have heard that too - except I have the ****-style A/C controls, not the digital ones. So, I don't have the same harness.
