soldering led's
i want to be able to dim my led's at night that i am putting into my ac controls....so, my question is....WHERE DO I solder the led's to in order to get power and be able to dim them ((with the factory dimmer)).....

right to where the factory bulbs go......
i swear you should just AIM me or something. LMFAO
hardest part is guessing which one is positive and which is negative.... easiest way to do it is JUST DO IT one way... and if run outside plug the harness into the controls and see if they lite up..... if they dont then just cut the wires and switch them.... i would avoid unsoldering and soldering them back onto that ribben board cause that ribben stuff isnt very thick and you can mess it up if ya heat it to much....
i would just cut the wires about a inch or two away from the solder points and just twist them together and solder them solid.... and tape them up.... and try them again... they should work.

is there somewhere else that i can solder them to and still use the dimmer? i just dont really have the room to solder the wires there. and plus, im afraid if i do, something will happen with all of those wires coming out through the hole and it is possible for a negative to hit that metal and that would suck. i tried finding a wire that was for the dimmer and i tested all of them but i couldnt find one. so i went ahead and tested it straight from the dimmer....that worked BUT, when i wanted the gauges to get brighter, the led's would dim....and when i wanted the gauges ((speedo)) to get dimmer, the led's would get brighter. so i dont know what is up with that...
