Any suggestions on where to tap into under the dash for accessory guage lights. 2006 express van. Am I correct in reading the wiring schematic that the headlight switch is on the neg. side controlling the relay only? Where might the positive lead to the panel lights be hidden, and what color? Used to be sooooo easy!! I guess you get dumber as you get older.
Thanks for any info. Can't find it through a search on the topic.

if your 06 van is anything like the trucks, your head light switch assembly shoudl pop out of your dash. then the brown/white wire should be the one you tap into. that should be able to give you full a full dimming featuer just like in your dash lights. but someone else back me on this one not sure if his van is like the trucks.

:cool2: Thanks Catch2, that did the trick!! I've always been a little off when it comes to the electrical stuff.
We're off and running!
