Savage switch dim/bright
Has anyone here done the savage switch dim/bright wiring?
Looking for someone to do the wiring for me. Can send the dash and buttons and obviously pay you for the work?

if you get a FOC result on this then I would be interested!

Assuming you want them to dim with the lights going on so they are less bright at night?
I would assume they have a separate connection to the illumination? If so will simply be matter of wiring a circuit that's triggered by the
lights being on to switch the illumination to a resisted circuit. You could even wire a potentiometer so that you can adjust the brightness.

I'd like them to work as follows
day time - LEDs all off until switch is pressed then only that switch illuminates.
night time - Pressing sidelights switch turns sidelight LED to full bright and all other switches to dim. then when each switch is pressed that LED
goes full bright.
hopefully that makes sense

I thought as much but not sure why anyone would want to do it for free. seems like quite alot of fiddly work to me.

I've got a solution for this, just needs diodes and resistors so it's not free but is very low cost. I'll dig out the circuit.

i meant it as in if the solution is posted on here, rather than paying someone to do it for you and not knowing how it was done

CBS used to sell a resistor with some tails on it to do this.
I did it as already mentioned with a few resistors and diodes. All I can remember is it was easier with the dbl pole connection blocks.
Here it is

I'm no electrical engineer but I think you would still need to add a diode. I certainly did on the hazard switch.

I did this on mine, when dipped beam is on they light up dimly, but each individual switch lights brightly when on. It's straight-forward, just
use a resistor to get the dim effect, with a few diodes to help manage the switching. I may even have a scribbled diagram on the back of an envelope
which I will post here if I can find it.
