Dimmer / Illum wire for 2005 Jeep Crand Cherokee

[knotkrazy]

Hi all,

Probably another stupid question but;

I installed an Alpine 9886 in a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Works great, the Alpine unit is AWESOME but I'm missing one hookup. It's the 'illum' wire from the head unit to dim it when the lights come on. There's no direct wire in the factory harness and from what I've found I need to tap into a wire bundle running from the headlight stalk. Anyone know which one it is? Or a better option? Thanks in advance.

I haven't installed it yet, but the CHY-RAP wire harness I bought for my 05 GC has an illumination wire for an aftermarket HU.
