for my a/f gauge i installed, i connected the wire to my ecu a/f wire (white for 5thgen), then put my power wire (which is probly your 'dimmer' switch, since i assume u only have 2 wires cuz thats all u mentioned) to my headunit power wire.

if u have an aftermarket (not Honda OEM) radio/cd player with the adapter harness, use the orange illumination wire. It only gets power when parking lights/headlights are turned on

If u also need a power source to make the gauge light up, u can use the ACC wire on the same harness behind the radio.

i dont see why you would want to be able to dim it but you can go to an electronics store ( radio shack ) and buy a dimmer ****

does your gauge have a dimmer on it?

if so, then you can just tap into your headunits power (usually has a little black box connected to the wire, or labeled "12V power supply")

if not, the you can buy a dimmer **** at radio shack or whatever and take ur dimmer wire from your gauge to it, then from the dimmer **** to the headunits power wire.

( might need a 'ground', so you get a wire and put it from the (-)negative to some metal on your car)

(also might need a 'constant power' along with the '12V power', so you just connect a wire from where it tells you on the gauge or **** to your cigarette lighter power wire
