I'm not sure that lead has enough power in it. The 12V outlet in the console will work too. Silver E1 I'm afraid Speed Demon has given me the mod bug. AIM: Davo7Wins

I probably sound pretty stupid because you already know about that I'm sure. Just Pull the insulation back a little on the White w/ Orange Stripe wire on back of dimmer switch and you can control the HVAC Indiglo By the Dimmer Switch Hope This helps... Good luck.... P.S.
