Me too, I would like to know where to wire the green wire on a P3gauge, which is the "dimmer" wire. I'm hoping it's possible to tie the P3gauge to the cluster so it dims just like the cluster, from the dimmer button. R59.

After a few hours of looking around ‘ I realized my gauges doesn’t have that dimming feature ‘ the dimming is on the back of the gauge’ have to turn it manually ‘

I'm starting to think the dimmer wire on P3gauge just cuts the brightness when it sees voltage, like a day/night toggle. Going to have to play with it.
