Lunar gauges flickering?
 
I just installed my Lunar boost gauge, hooked up the power to the factory dimmer switch. When it's not at full power, it flickers, and when I dial down the dimmer towards the very low end, it's not powered at all.

Does anyone else have these issues? I checked all of my wiring and it doesn't seem to be a loose connection. Or is it just a problem with the factory dimmer?

Thanks

Mine do the same.. I don't ever dim my dash lights anyway, so it doesn't bother me.
I used a resistor to dim the Lunar gauge to make it look sorta like the factory gauges.

Thanks...I saw your post about the resisitor earlier, I plan on picking up one of the 220 Ohm ones later today. Is there any special way you wired it in - does Radio Shack sell inline reisitor holders or something?

I just doubled up the leads & crimped them inline on the power wire using butt splices. Then I covered the whole thing up with shrink tubing. :)
