Re: Clock and A/C light dimming.

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

In factory configuration A/C lights on own circuit, keyed to ignition,
not headlight switch. Illuminated whenever car is energized. Faux pas
IMHO. Don't know how many amps the bulbs draw, so you might want to
measure before attaching to rheostat. Remember: red/orange line into
rheostat only 16 gauge. 

I've rewired my entire headlight circuit, including keying A/C lights
to dash switch. Schematic in #5939's photo album (still current
except 1A fuse AFTER dash switch has been removed -- getting crowded
under shift boot). Note: other than red/brown line moved from A/C
panel relay, circuit is now 14 gauge until it gets back to fuse block.

Re: clock -- mine's always/only been 12 hour so I can't help you there
(is it OEM?). Was annoyed by dimming with headlights, so I cut that
line when rewiring circuit. Display is hard enough to see as it is
(bad angle).
