Does anyone know if there is an Illumination wire to dim aftermarket stereos when the headlights are on?
Great! Where can I find this wire?why YES , yes there is in-fact such a wire on ALL 8/80-9/87 FJ60's globally ........
For aftermarket radios and head units, they all require a wire that becomes hot when the lights are on. They dont dim with your rheostat or anything like that. Just pull off of any wire that is getting 12v when your headlights are on, but are off when the headlights are off.Does anyone know if there is an Illumination wire to dim aftermarket stereos when the headlights are on?
