Andrew,
If you wouldn't mind doing it, I sure could use the information.
Yes.. I have the 12v constant lead already there, and would just connect the
switched 12v lead from the receiver to the switched lead from the car.
While you are in there, could you also see if there is a "dimmer" lead in
there? IOW, a lead that tells the receiver when the headlights are on so that
it dims the lighting? Thanks.
