Panel light dimmer?
 
Can one of the old Baja employees help me out here. I want to make my panel lights have a dimmer so I can dim them while running at night. I know the later Baja's had this on them. Did they use some sort of dimmer module to make this work with a switch to turn them on and off and a momentary switch to dim them. I can't seem to find one anywhere. Can anyone help with this?

I was told you couldn't use a "dimmer" if you use LED bulbs, not sure if this is true or not? I know a few guys who use LED bulbs in gauge lights

Most of the old 29 Outlaws had the rotory dial dimmer on the panels because there was very little room left for a carling switch. It is a special switch that fits the Carling cutout for the dimmer option. Buy this panel from GLS and get the parts that you need, along with extras.

Thanks for the reply XT. I think I stumbled onto a solution to use what I already have. I found a dimmer module from American Technology that looks like it will work. All I need is a momentary switch and power switch both of which I already have.
