I cannot figure out which wire to tap in to so the backlight is dimmable on my new 5" tach. I have tried using a tester. I have even checked off the dimmer switch itself. Please help me.

I think it’s the light blue wire with a red stripe. What year car?

I just looked it up. It should be the light blue wire with a red stripe coming off the dimmer.
