I replaced my Radio bracket this weekend with a replacement "DIN" cut one. Center console removal was easier than I though. When I got everything apart, I was surprised to see a real mess of wires. I also noticed that all of the AC panel light wires had been cut, and some ZIP cord and black tape was used to connect the lights to one of the other connections. I then realized that this was someone's method of making the panel lights go on and off with the headlights. I removed the ZIP cord, and restored the correct connections with some crimps. I then performed the modification at http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/acpanellites.htm Has anyone had any bad experiences with this mod? I find it odd that the car would be engineered to have a dedicated relay just for those 4 small bulbs in the AC panel! Also, the lights look brighter now than before, because I think it was on the dimmer control before. Has anyone come up with a good modification to put them back on the dimmer in a clean way? or a fixed resistor to cut the light a bit? While removing the dash, I broke the light dimmer switch. For now, I hot wired all of the wires together. The dash lights are brighter than ever. I seem to remember DMC Joe saying those dimmers are no longer available. Does anyone know what the specification on this part are? I assume it is a linear taper potentiometer, but what is the resistance and wattage? I also noticed that there is a loose (looks like it was cut) ground wire attached to the small screw on the side of the bracket. there are a few (5 I think) ground wires in there, some of them have what looks like a capacitor on them, so I assume the wires may be for noise suppression. The wire that looks cut is red (after the capacitor). Anyone know where this is supposed to go? Thanks, Marc
