[QUOTE="mikegett, post: 1591642, member: 561005"] If it is like the 2005 and 2004 units the dimmer may not be used. The dimmer controls how much voltage goes to the HU lights. Deepending on what car you have it may see 12 volts all the way on or 0 volts all the way on. The eclipse back light comes on when it does not see 12 volts. Just the opposite of how you might think it works. I had the 8455 hooked up with the dimmer when I first got it and had a simmilar situation. I had to call eclipse and look like a fool. I would unplug the dimmer and see how it does. If it won't work, call eclipse prior to sending it back. They will walk you through the possible problems and give a rma number if it still won't work. Just remember not to trust word of mouth or message forums 100 percent. It only takes one to two people having "problems" to start a trend of distrust. In most cases these problems are caused by the installer and not the equipment. [/QUOTE]
