Default 3 wires for gauge lighting which one!

bought a hatch from a guy that hacked the wires up doing the stupid indiglo gauges

almost have everything back to normal except the gauge lights

the dimmer to the left of steering wheel has 3 wires coming out of it

one black one red and one red with black stripe

which one of these can I hook up to the fuse box to illuminate the gauges

anyone have a manual?

98 hatch

Or you can use a multimeter and not guess at all.

And sometimes searches also work.

Just connect the red wire to the black wire and the gauge lights should come on full bright.
