I'm looking at hooking up a couple of gauges on my Tib 03. My question is does any one know which wire I could use as the Dimmer Wire,In order to be able to Dim the lighting of the gauge. Any help would be appreciatted.

Thanks

If your gage lighting has a common ground with the gages themselves, you can't dim the illumination.  On the Tiburon (as on all Hyundais I know of), the illumination lights are driven by the full 12V and the dimmer is on the ground side.  If your lighting has a separate ground, you should run 12V to the dimmer lights, and instead of connecting the ground side of the lights directly to ground, connect it to a (dimmed) illumination ground.  You can look all this up on http://www.hmaservice.com for yourself.  Register and it will send you a password (if the password doesn't come right away, go back in do the "Forgot Password" procedure; then it should come).  Once ou get in, look up the illumination schematics (ETM) for your model and year.
