i powered mine through my radio.. any 12v power source that turns on with the turn of the key should be suffice

That's correct, but I wanted the lights in the gauges to dim with the rest of the lights. The dimmer has three wire coming out of it. Red, black, and red with black stripes. I think I had to splice into the red and the red/black but it was over a year ago...so I can't promise you that I am correct.
